Method, scheduler, intelligent buffer, processor and telecommunications system for sharing available bandwidth

摘要

The method shares available bandwidth on a common link (L) in a communication network among a plurality of data flows (C1, C2, ..., C8, C9, ..., C16) which are transmitted via the common link (L). The method is used by a processor (P) and includes the steps of sharing reserved bandwidth included in the available bandwidth among the plurality of data flows (C1, C2, ..., C8, C9, ..., C16), and sharing unreserved bandwidth among the plurality of data flows (C1, C2, ..., C8, C9, ..., C16) according to a respective unreserved data packet share which is associated to each one (C2) of the plurality of data flows (C1, C2, ..., C8, C9, ..., C16). The unreserved bandwidth is included in the available bandwidth in excess of the reserved bandwidth. The step of sharing the unreserved bandwidth includes associating to one (C2) of the plurality of data flows (C1, C2, ..., C8, C9, ..., C16) a respective adaptable administrative weight (W2) and determining the respective unreserved data packet share which is associated to the one (C2) data flow in function of its respective adaptable administrative weight (W2).
