Abstract
A method in a communication node for handling a packet to a destination node in a communications network, and associated nodes. The communication node associates the packet with a remaining value, with the remaining value being a packet value reduced by a threshold value of an outgoing link from the communication node towards the destination node. The threshold value corresponds to a congestion level of the outgoing link. The communication node further handles the packet based on the remaining value, the handling including determining whether to drop or to transmit the packet along the outgoing link based on the remaining value.
