Abstract
A method for marking data packets of a data transmission flow pertaining to an end-to-end connection within a packet network is disclosed. The priority value is calculated based on at least one service quality parameter attributed to the data transmission flow, and upon a network feedback parameter indicative of the state of congestion within the packet network. A marker device adapted for performing the method is described as well.
