Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting data of different applications via a packet transmission network, in which data packets include routing data and useful data in a packet transmission network, comprising: predetermining different values of a comparison variable for different applications depending on the application for which the useful data is transmitted, the comparison variable determining waiting times in which communication equipment in the packet transmission network waits for a sequence of data packets to arrive; forwarding a sequence of data packets based on the routing data in the packet transmission network, and transmitting the data packets according to a predetermined transmission protocol; restoring the sequence of the data packets on receipt of the data packets; and processing the received data packets according to the sequence, wherein the processing of the data packets is continued in the restored sequence based on the comparison variable, even if one of the data packets in the sequence has not yet been received, or where a repeated transmission of at least one data packet is requested based on the comparison variable.
