Abstract
The inventive method consists in determining a flow (F) to which belongs each new incoming packet (P), when said flow (F) is on a list of active flows, in introducing said packet into a fair share scheduling mechanism (), when said flow (F) is absent from the list of active flows, in obtaining an estimation of the quantity of incoming data items (I.Bytes) with respect to said flow over a reference time period, in comparing said estimation with a maximum value (MaxBytes), wherein the reference time period or the maximum value are determined according to a fair share data rate, in adding said flow to the list of active flows and in introducing the packet (P) into the fair share scheduling mechanism (), if said estimation exceeds the maximum value, and in introducing the packet (P) into the end of a priority queue (), in the alternative case.
