A device (D) is dedicated to generating bursts of packets of data, in a network equipment (N) of a burst switching communication network. This device (D) comprises processor means (MT) adapted to generate, with a view to their transmission by the equipment (N), composite bursts assembled from packets extracted from at least two queues, including an initiator queue, associated with different classes of service and with a common packet destination, and defined in memory means (MY). To this end the processor means (MT) allocate to the different classes of service selected weights varying in a non-linear fashion as a function of associated priority levels. They then determine a linear combination of proportions of packets stored in the initiator queue and in at least one other queue associated with the same destination respectively weighted by the weights allocated to the classes of service of the packets, the result whereof preserves the priority level associated with the packets stored in said initiator queue. Finally, they assemble a composite burst to be transmitted with the packets of the linear combination.
