Abstract:
Method for processing data packets which have either been received on a data channel or are to be transmitted on the data channel, a processing time relative to a system time which is known in the system being assigned to the data packet, the up-to-dateness of the data packet being checked before the further processing, wherein at the time when the up-to-dateness of the data packet is checked a portion of the time axis is divided at least into a â€œcorrectly timedâ€  region and a â€œdelayedâ€  region on the basis of the current system time, the â€œdelayed regionâ€  being arranged chronologically before the current system time, and a check is made to determine the region in which the processing time of the data packet lies, and corresponding further processing is performed.
