A router which facilitates a simplified load balancing is provided. The router contains at least one buffer memory for the intermediate storage of pointers for information packets in at least two different buffer memory areas, a readout unit for reading out the different buffer memory areas one after the other in predetermined time windows, and at least one RED processing unit. A feedback loop is provided from the readout unit to at least one RED processing unit in order to control the activation and de-activation of the RED processing unit. Indirect information about the occupancy levels of the buffer memory areas is passed via the feedback loop to the at least one RED processing unit. The readout unit operates with the weighted round robin mechanism and transmits information about buffer memory locations processed in the time slots to the at least one RED processing unit.
