<p>A method and a buffer structure for ensuring a fair share of the bandwidth between point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections with the same or different priorities are disclosed. For each priority class the buffer structure comprises one queue for each physical link of restoring point-to-point cells for each priority level and one queue for point-to-multipoint cells. When a cell is to be transmitted on a link, the point-to-point and point-to-multipoint cells for this link, if any, from the highest priority class in each case are identified. If the cells belong to the same priority class, the cell stored first is transmitted.</p> |
