Abstract
The invention relates to a method for transferring data packets to a shared resource (12) in a telecommunication network, that comprises the following steps: providing N processing queues (Qi, i=i to N) each associated with a respective period having a predetermined duration, where N>1; based on information indicated by a received packet, allocating said packet to one of the processing queues; adding the received packet (P13) in the queue (Qi) to which it has been allocated; selecting a processing queue from the N queues so that each non-empty queue is selected at least once during the associated period; and extracting at least one packet from the selected processing queue and transferring it in priority to the shared resource (12).
