The invention includes a network node (83), and a method of controlling the network node in a data packet network, wherein the method comprising the steps of: receiving a first data packet from a first external network node (85); analysing the first data packet to determine if it is of a class of service deemed to be queuable or unqueuable; and, if it is queuable, sending the first data packet to a second external node (81) via an intermediate node (17), wherein any data packet may be reclassified to be of the unqueuable class such that the intermediate node discards received unqueuable packets if a packet queue exists at the intermediate node. The method is a variant of the conventional TCP slow start method. |
