Abstract
The invention relates to a method for allowing data packets in a network to arrive at the recipient at definable times. The method requires a firewall in a computer network. Each data packet which is transmitted through the firewall to a recipient is assigned a time budget for processing in the firewall. After the time budget has expired, the firewall performs a firewall action for each data packet, which can be executed as sending to the recipient or discarding the packet. The time budget may be less than the processing time required by the firewall to completely process all filter rules, and thus forms a termination condition for processing the data packet in the firewall.
