Abstract
An apparatus and a method are described in which a flow of packets is distributed in several separate flows over several links () forming a logically aggregated link (). The flow outgoing from each physical link is sent to its own policer () which applies to said flow a traffic policing algorithm with the policers being interconnected to exchange algorithm control parameter modification information to fit them in among the various policers while allowing for the control parameters of the others so that a distributed policer () is realized.
