Method for reducing packet data delay variation in an internet protocol network

摘要: Network nodes (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 40) of a communication network (100) determine whether the queue position (56, 57) data packet (60) exceeds threshold (55). Data packets which are placed in that has depth greater than threshold, and therefore will experience increased delay at this node, remarked to higher priority for expedited handling next hop. The hop node handles put it (51) such less node. In way, negative correlation node-to-node is achieved overall variation reduced.
