We introduce a methodology for establishing a connection between two nodes of a broadband network, that allows for securing sufficient resources at every intermediate node along the selected route, and thereby guarantee Quality of Service. We describe how a Virtual Path (VP) mechanism may be implemented within our framework, and compare the performance achieved by such a scheme with that of a V...
