ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD RELATING TO PACKET FLOW CONTROL

摘要

The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for controlling the flow of signals comprising a number of information packets in a communications network, e.g. an ATM-network. The arrangement comprises means for separating the signals in first traffic signals and second traffic signals. The first traffic signals are signals that have a higher proportion of guaranteed resources, i.e. bandwidth, than the second traffic signals. The first traffic signals are also given a lower priority than the second traffic signals. The first and second traffic signals are handled separately.
