摘要 |
This invention relates to a system for adapting transmission capacities of a packet-switched network, the system comprising at least two switches (11, 11', 31, 32) and at least two successive transmission connections with different transmission capacities between said switches (11, 11', 31, 32), characterized in that the system also comprises means (12, 12', 33, 34, 35) for comparing the transmission capacities of the transmission connections at the junction of two transmission connections with different transmission capacities, means (12, 12', 33, 34, 35) for transmitting information on the real transmission capacity available from said junction at least to the switch (11, 11', 31, 32) in the direction of higher transmission capacity, the real transmission capacity being determined according to the transmission connection with lower capacity, and means for taking the information on the transmission capacity into account in the switch (11, 11', 31, 32) which received it when a new connection is established.
