Methods and network nodes for traffic management at network nodes in packet-switched networks

摘要

A method for traffic management at a network node in a packet-switched network is proposed. The method comprises performing traffic shaping on a current packet belonging to a packet flow and stored in a memory queue associated with the packet flow, the traffic shaping comprising, if a theoretical reception time, TRT, value of the current packet is smaller than or equal to a time counter value, output the current packet through an egress port. The TRT value of the packet is determined by performing traffic policing of incoming packets of the packet flow.
