To manage the transmission of information packets on channels of a telecommunications network, the packets are organised into user queues received in respective buffers, measuring the occupancy level of the buffers. The users are sorted into respective classes (RT, NRT) identified by the service mode requested. After determining the propagation conditions on the transmission channel respectively associated to said users, the priority in the transmission of the packets is determined, choosing the order in which the respective queues are visited as a function of: &#x2014;a first level priority, linked to whether the users belong to the respective classes of service (RT, NRT), &#x2014;a second level priority, linked to at least a parameter chosen between the level of occupancy of the respective buffer and the propagation conditions of the respective channel.
