Abstract
The present invention relates to packet-switched networks, such as Ethernet, and more particularly to a method for traffic shaping of data frames to transmit in such a telecommunication network, the frames to transmit being distinguished between: express frames, needing to be sent within predetermined time windows, and normal frames, intended to be sent at times outside said time windows. More particularly, for a current normal frame, the method comprises the steps of: determining whether said normal frame can be fragmented, and if yes: determining whether a remaining time to a next time window opening is enough to transmit one or several fragments of said normal frame, and if yes: transmitting said one or several fragments.
