Abstract
The present invention concerns a method of controlling the conformity of the transmission rate of data cells transmitted by a source terminal in communication with a destination terminal.It consists essentially, when a backward-resource management cell (BW-RM) of order k arrives at the said interface unit (21), of determining the programming time (tp(k)) of the taking into account, by the said control process (21b), of the rate request (ER(k)) contained in the field of the said cell (BW-RM).It also concerns a user-network interface unit which has means for being able to implement the steps of the said methods.
