Abstract
A method is provided for congestion control in a network node () of a communication network. The network node handles a plurality of data connections for conveying data packets travelling between a core side and a terminal side of the communication network. The method is performed in the network node and comprises detecting () a condition indicative of a congestion for any of the data connections, selecting (), among the data connections, a data connection (RAB) for which a bit-rate reduction is to be caused, and determining () a number (X) of data packets to be discarded for the selected data connection. The determined number depends on a time-integrated difference between experienced and targeted bit-rates for the selected data connection. Then, the reduction of the bit-rate is initiated () for the selected data connection by causing discarding of the determined number of data packets.
