The invention concerns a method of providing resource admission control to packet flows () associated with sessions in a communication network (), and an access controller () to execute this method. The communication network () handles packets according to priority levels assigned to the packets. The priority levels comprise at least a first and a second priority level wherein the first priority level is higher than the second priority level. First, a packet flow () associated with the new session is identified when packets of the packet flow () enter the communication network (). Preferably, the new session is a real-time session. The second priority level is assigned to the identified packet flow and the packet flow () is handled according to the second priority level within the communication network (). A congestion level is measured in the communication network (). If the measured congestion level stays below a predefined threshold, the priority level of the packet flow () associated with the new session is upgraded from the second priority to the first priority within the communication network (). Once upgraded, the packet flow () is handled according to the first priority level within the communication network () until the packet flow () is terminated.

Method of providing resource admission control

A multi-dwelling unit (MDU) module is configured for providing telephony communicating services and non-telephony services. The MDU module includes a motherboard and a plurality of service units connected to the motherboard. Each one of said service units and the motherboard are jointly configured for providing non-telephony service and telephony service to a plurality of service subscribers. The motherboard is configured for providing overload power management to limit power consumption associated with said telephony services during an overload condition and for providing lifeline power management to limit power consumption associated with said non-telephony services during a power outage condition. The MDU module optionally includes lightning primary surge protection blocks configured for being connected to the service units. The MDU module includes a passive heat dissipation assembly that is configured for absorbing heat generated by the motherboard and the service units and for passively dissipating the heat.
