Abstract
The method according to the invention consists of a first step in which messages sent by the sending subscriber are segmented into cells, a second step in which initial processing is carried out on each cell in order to space them uniformly at a minimum time interval at least equal to a determined resolution time, a third step in which a second processing succeeding the initial processing is carried out in order to space groups of cells with the same throughput by a minimum time interval determined as a function of the throughput allocated to each network subscriber, and a fourth step in which cells thus spaced are transmitted in a determined virtual circuit on the network.
