  • Dynamic connection set-up in a communication network
    Patent number: 6684251
    Abstract: A communication network comprises a service layer, layer interface, and network layer to dynamically set-up a connection for a session. The service layer receives and processes a service request for a user system to generate and transfer a connection request. The connection request includes a connection identifier to correlate the connection with the session. The service-to-network layer interface receives and processes the connection request to generate and transfer the signaling messages that include the connection identifier. The network layer receives the signaling messages, and in response, dynamically establishes the connection. The connection is comprised of three segments that are established concurrently by the network layer.
