Abstract:
1. A method for optimizing the use of network resources for the transmission of data frames between network units in an Internet Protocol (IP) supporting network, wherein said data frames are obtained from data samples that are formatted and to which a data frame header is added, the data samples being generated by codecs, said codecs having different mouth-to-ear transmission delay budgets for the data frames derived therefrom, wherein said method comprises: attributing codec categories to each of said data frames according to the codec by means of which the data samples are generated, each codec category corresponding to a different mouth-to-ear delay budget range for the data frames; sorting out the data frames according to their codec categories; generating multiplexed cells from data frames of a same codec category, each multiplexed cell being obtained by multiplex aggregation of a predetermined number of data samples; and transporting said multiplexed cells from an ingress router to an egress router in said IP supporting network.
