Abstract

A reference network node in a circuit-switched network obtains information about a partner network node by including a requesting element in a connection SETUP message sent to the partner network node. The partner network node responds with identification parameters included in response messages (for example, a CONNECT message). The reference network node uses the received identification parameters to send appropriate configuration information (for example, connection control of transmission links) to the partner network node.
