Abstract
A method for prioritized data transmission to a common transmission medium from a plurality of interface modules coupled to it, for interfacing at least one input bitstream with said common transmission medium, whereby access is arbitrated on the basis of a module priority of each interface module, is such that, for at least one interface module, the module priority is dependent on at least one connection parameter associated to packets of said at least one input bitstream. An arrangement for performing this method is described as well as several variant implementations of the method and the arrangement.
