Abstract
A method is proposed for balancing a latency of transmission of data content in a communications tree in a synchronous communications network, the communications tree comprising a root node on which a junction terminal is connected, the communications tree comprising leaf nodes on which terminals are connected, the root node and the leaf nodes being interconnected by intermediate nodes, the nodes being interconnected by links. The method comprises determining, for each node of the communications tree, a maximum value of latency associated with each path going from said node up to leaf nodes in a direction opposite to the junction terminal, and applying to each link at a node, the link running from the node in the direction opposite to the junction terminal, a supplement of latency balancing that corresponds to a difference between a maximum value of latency of each link and a maximum value.
