The invention proposes a method and system for transmitting information in a network. The network includes at least one buffer unit for buffering the information to be transmitted. The buffer unit includes one or more first and second buffer stages. The information to be transmitted is buffered in one of the first buffer stages and then transferred to the second buffer stage from which it is transmitted to another network element. The first buffer stage is adapted to receive control data from the second buffer stage which control data influences the transferring of subsequent information from the first to the second buffer stage. Thereby, the necessary maximum buffer capacity of the second buffer stage can be kept small without danger of data loss caused by overflow. Moreover, the transmission delay caused by the second buffer stage can be reduced. |
