Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting data packets, comprising the steps of: indicating a packet data connection with a connection identifier and indicating a destination of the packet data connection with a destination identifier; sorting data packets into initialized transmission queues before transmission; involving the destination identifier in an initialization of a transmission queue; relating at least one connection identifier to at least one transmission queue, a set of proper connection identifiers comprises a union of the connection identifiers related to initialized transmission queues; and placing a data packet having a proper connection identifier to the transmission queue determined by the connection identifier; wherein the initialization of the new transmission queue is triggered by a data packet not having a proper connection identifier and having a destination identifier, and after successful initialization of the new transmission queue, the data packet that triggered the initialization is placed in the new transmission queue and a sender of a data packet is notified if the initialization of the new transmission queue is not successful.
