Abstract
A method for timing the output of data packets from network nodes, in which the current fill level of the buffer memory of a queue of the network node is first determined. The determined fill level of the buffer memory is compared with a predetermined lower limit for the fill level of the buffer memory. The output time of a data packet is assigned in dependence on the result of the comparison.
