Abstract
A method for aggregating and regulating messages in a network that has a plurality of pairs of nodes and two transmitting/receiving devices communicating via a bidirectional channel. The method is implemented by each of the transmitting/receiving devices. Each received message may be segmented into packets of a predefined size, and each packet may be allocated to a queue that depends on the origin, the destination, and the priority of the message. One or more frames may then be created, and packets of the queues may be inserted into the frames. Frames may then be sent via the bidirectional channel over a predefined time interval, the number of frames sent over the time interval being dependent on the maximum throughput of the channel and on the useful throughput in each of the transport directions of the channel.
