Allocating variable time slices for data transmission in packet-oriented data network involves accessing data flows in table, allocating time slices, re-determining priority, updating table

摘要

The method involves allocating time slices on request from the terminal and depending on the available network capacity. References (70) to at least the active data flows in the network are placed in fields of a multi-dimensional table depending on allocation priorities. Allocation involves accessing data flows from the table, allocating time slices, re-determining the priority, entering the reference in the table depending on the new priority. Independent claims are also included for the following: a controler for a packet-oriented data network and computer program for a controler for a packet-oriented data network.
