A METHOD FOR DATA TRAFFIC POLICING, A DATA TRAFFIC POLICER REALIZING SUCH A METHOD AND A TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK INCLUDING SUCH A DATA TRAFFIC POLICER

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for use in a telecommunicationnetwork by a data traffic politer (POL) for data traffic policing on a datacommunication link (L). The data traffic includes data cells that are groupedintoframes (F1, F2, F3, ...). The method comprises the step of for each data cellof aframe (F2), upon reception of the data cell, checking a conformance of thedata celland providing thereby a conformance result of the data cell being any one ofconforming and non-conforming (F/T). The method further includes the steps ofstoring the data cell into a buffer (BUFF) and treating the frame asconforming in theevent when for each data cell of the frame that is stored in the buffer (BUFF)theconformance result is conforming (F); and in the event when the frame istreated asconforming (F) and upon reception of a predefined data cell of the frame (F2),startingtransmission of a predefined number of data cells of the frame (F2) by thetrafficpoliter (POL).
