Abstract
A device for adjusting a set of primary rate limits for transmission rates of data flows having a certain priority in a transmitter is provided, wherein data flows of different priorities including said certain priority are transmitted by a port of the transmitter. The transmission of the data flows having the certain priority is limited by secondary rate limits per data flow and by a transmission or flow control per priority. The device comprises a determiner and a number of adjusters. The determiner is configured to determine a mean value of a duty cycle of the certain priority at the port provided by the transmission or flow control. The adjusters are configured to adjust the primary rate limits for the transmission rates of the data flows having the certain priority based on the determined mean value of the duty cycle to obtain the secondary rate limits.
