Method for reserving resources for data flows in a communication network, program, legu00ecvel by computer, computer program product, and network node. A network node is provided for reserving resources for data flows in a communication network.The node detects a request to reserve resources for a new data stream and computes a score of admission test based on several descriptors of the new data flow and counts of reservation, the reservation counts representing functions of reservation of various descriptors of flux The data already admitted and specifying the resources for data flows admitted.The new data flow is admitted if the admission test count is less than a maximum count of admission to the various descriptors of traffic and the reservation counts are updated based on descriptors of the new data flow.Various forms of admission may then be used to maintain counts of the reserve aggregate data flows, the number of counts and is independent of the number of flows.
