METHOD IMPLEMENTED IN PACKET-SWITCHED NETWORK FOR SCHEDULING TRANSMISSION OF ETHERNET FRAMES, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND EQUIPMENT
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method implemented in a packet-switched network for scheduling transmission of Ethernet frames, comprising the steps of:



a) determining a priority level of each Ethernet frame to transmit, based on identification of data given in said Ethernet frame and related to a stream to which said Ethernet frame belongs,
b) determining, among the frames having the highest priority level, a frame, candidate for transmission, having a closest next time at which said candidate frame is to be transmitted, and
c) estimating an end-of-transmission time of said candidate, and checking whether a frame having a higher priority than the candidate does not have a next transmission time occurring before the end-of-transmission time of the candidate, and eventually transmitting the candidate.
