METHODS AND NODES FOR CONGESTION CONTROL

摘要

The disclosure relates to a method for handling congestion performed in a source node of a communication network. The communication network provides a communication path for traffic streams between the source node and a destination node, wherein the source node multiplexes two or more different types of traffic streams onto a single connection. The method comprises detecting congestion in the communication network along the communication path, determining whether there is a traffic differentiation in a network node along the communication path, and applying a connection-level congestion control for the case of determining that there is no network node performing traffic differentiation. The disclosure also relates to a source node, computer program and computer program product.
