<p>Admission device for admitting data cells to a transmission medium. The VC code of an arriving data cell is read out. A count value, which is a measure for the load of data cells with that VC code, is compared with a threshold, after which an admission code is issued, the value of which depends on the result of the comparison. There is not used a single, but a plural threshold. The threshold value is selected by a sort code which is either derived from the arriving data cell, or has an external origin, e.g., a network-control system or network monitoring system located outside the admission device. <IMAGE></p> |
