  • Marking determining device and related method
    Patent number: 7961607
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a marking determining method and a related device for determining a packet marking of packets of an incoming packet-flow, in order to keep the packets in conformance with a traffic policy. The determining is based on an actual value of a traffic reservation parameter, while the traffic reservation parameter is a measure of available network resources dedicated to packets of said incoming packet-flow having a pre-assigned priority. The determining further is based on the pre-assigned priority of the packets of the incoming packet flow. The marking method a first steps of holding a threshold value for the traffic reservation parameter, while the threshold value is lying between a minimum and a maximum value of the traffic reservation parameter.

  • Method to generate an acceptance decision in a telecommunication system
    Patent number: 6912226
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for use in a telecommunication system to generate an acceptance decision during a decision cycle that comprises whether to accept an incoming packet of a data stream or not in a buffer (BUF). The incoming packet (P) has a drop priority (DP) being one of a plurality of arranged drop priorities. The method comprises determining for a drop priority parameter (DPP) an actual drop priority parameter value (DPPact) out of the plurality of drop priorities; and comparing the drop priority parameter (DPP) with the drop priority (DP) of the packet (P) in order to generate the acceptance decision.
