A system and process for controlling the flow of packets carried by asynchronous time multiplexers (EPACi). The packets from one communication link are identified by their label and the identity of the multiplexer which carries them. The process is comprised of allocating for each communication a predetermined clock rate and a predetermined threshold value, measuring the difference between the number of packets entering belonging to the communication and the number of pulses generated by the clock, lower bounding this difference, and, if the difference reaches a predetermined threshold, triggering a signal (DEP) which causes the detection of packets belonging to the communication in question as long as the difference is not less than the predetermined threshold. The signal (DEP) is used by the control means of a switch (XPAC) which transmits to the source of the communication in question a message requesting it to reduce its rate, when this is possible, and, in any event, a message warning it of a loss of packets. |
