A process for renegotiating, during a communication, the parameters of a traffic contract on an ATM network. The present invention relates to a renegotiation process, during a communication on an ATM network, of the parameters of the traffic contract that relates to this communication. It is characterized in that it consists: a. in predicting, for a predetermined period of time between two successive renegotiations, the maximal length that would be reached by a virtual file fed by the traffic of said communication, for at least a given thruput rate of said file. b. in deducing from said maximal length one or more new parameters for the traffic contract, and c. in renegotiating with the network on the basis of said (new) traffic parameter or parameters for said period of time. |
