Abstract
The invention concerns a device of a network configured for implementing a method for distributing available bandwidth of said network (N1) amongst ongoing traffic sessions of devices (C1, C2, C3) of the network (N1). Said device comprises: —a communication module (2) to collect status messages from devices (C1, C2, C3) of the network running at least one traffic session; —a ranking module (5) configured to rank said ongoing traffic sessions according to parameters of devices and traffic sessions retrieved from status messages; —a calculator (6) configured to determine bandwidth to be allocated to each ranked traffic session in function of the available bandwidth, a rank of the ranked traffic sessions and a type of the ranked traffic session; —a comparator (7) able to check whether the determined bandwidth to be allocated to a traffic session of the device is different from zero.
