Abstract

A method is described for allocating buffers in a packet switched communication system offering different classes of service, each class of service being associated with a QoS queue. The optimal buffering is determined when a new packet for a particular QoS class arrives. The buffer limit is for the queue associated with said particular class in accordance with the determination, and new packet is handled according to the newly set buffer limit.
