Abstract
A method for transmitting information data with a variable bit-rate (VBR) on a transmission channel with constant bit-rate (CBR) uses both a 'lazy' algorithm and an 'aggressive' algorithm. The 'lazy algorithm' determines a transmission schedule where the smallest client buffer requirement and shortest working-ahead under a decided transmission rate may be obtained. The 'aggressive algorithm' determines a transmission schedule whereby the highest utility rate of the network under a specific client buffer size may be obtained.
