Method for prioritizing cell streams in systems which transmit information by an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)

摘要

In up-to-date ATM network systems, data in cells is transmitted by the "weighted fair queueing scheduling" process. To use connection sections in a particularly efficient manner, the cell streams are prioritized on the basis of said known process in that the weighting factors allocated to a first quantity of cell streams are selected in a very different manner to the weighting factors allocated to the remaining quantity of cell streams.
