Abstract
The method includes nodes transmitting quality-of-service (QoS) route requests to discover traffic routing based upon a QoS parameter, and the QoS route requests including a traffic flow identifier. Each node calculates a node QoS tag value to make traffic admission control decisions, and each node determines whether to admit traffic in response to QoS route requests based upon the calculated QoS tag value and the QoS parameter of QoS route requests. Also, each node replies to QoS route requests to indicate whether the node can support the QoS parameter of the route request and admit the traffic, and each node polices admitted traffic based upon the traffic flow identifier to ensure that admitted traffic does not exceed the QoS parameter of the QoS route request.
