Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of network delay equalization for equalizing a transfer of data packets associated with at least one service provided by at least one application server (40) to at least two application clients (51, 53, 54), a corresponding latency controller (30), as well as a corresponding latency equalizer (32, 33, 34). For each of said application clients (51, 53, 54) a latency equalizer (32, 33, 34) is provided. The latency controller (30) associated with said at least one application server (40) measures for at least two of said application clients (51, 53, 54) a respective time delay associated with a transfer of a data packet between said application server (40) and the respective application client. The latency controller (30) calculates for each of the at least two application clients (51, 53, 54) a respective additional time delay based on the measured respective time delay with a constraint that each respective sum of the respective additional time delay and the respective time delay is of equal size. The latency controller (30) sends the respective additional time delays to the latency equalizers (32, 33, 34) associated with the respective application clients (51, 53, 54). Further, each latency equalizer (32, 33, 34) schedules the data packets associated with the at least one service according to the received respective additional time delay.
