A method for forwarding data content from a second data connection and a third data connection of a node of a data network to a first data connection of the node, wherein data content received at the second data connection has priority over data content received at the third data connection, includes interrupting forwarding of data content received via the third data connection as soon as reception of data content at the second data connection is detected. The data content received at the second data connection is fed into an intermediate buffer (memory) and the output of the data content received via the second data connection, via the first data connection, is delayed for a definable time period.
