Abstract: The present invention relates to a traffic manager (1) and a method for a traffic manager (1), the method comprising the step of reading a first data packet (D1-DD) comprised in a first queue (QI-QQ) based on a scheduling priority (SP), the scheduling priority (SP) being determined:—at least partly on a configured priority of the first queue (QI-QQ),—at least partly on a first meter value (MVl-MVM) of a first meter (Mi-MM) associated with the first queue (QI-QQ); and—at least partly on a second meter value (MVl-MVM) of a second meter (Ml-MM) associated with a first scheduling node (NI-NN); the first scheduling node being a parent node of the first queue.
