Abstract

For efficiently handling network traffic via a fixed access, classification of UL data traffic in a communication device may be accomplished in a reflective mode by detecting identifiers of outgoing uplink data packets which are complementary to identifiers of incoming downlink data packets. The downlink data packets are already assigned to the traffic classes. The outgoing uplink data packets carrying the complementary identifier are assigned to the same traffic class as the incoming downlink data packets. For this purpose, the communication device is provided with a traffic classificator. In the reflective mode, the traffic classificator locally generates uplink packet classification rules by monitoring received downlink data packets.
