摘要

A switching method and a network element (2) applying this method are disclosed in which priorities are assigned to subscriber categories, subscriber categories of same priority are combined into a subscriber group and resources are reserved for each subscriber group. When a resource usage request in connection with a subscriber connection request is received from a subscriber (1), the subscriber group is determined to which the subscriber (1) belongs and a resource for the subscriber (1) is allocated out of the reserved resources for this subscriber group.
