With the application of the present invention, in resource and admission control in the PULL mode, after receiving the resource request initiated by CPE through the transport layer signaling message, the TRC-FE or PE-FE may select the exact PD-FE to implement the resource reservation process, thereby resolving the problem in prior art that during the resource and admission control process the TRC-FE or PE-FE can not select the ex…
