Abstract:
Back-pressure control in a telecommunications network, in which a method of back-pressure control in a transport network is provided. A buffer state of a buffer is monitored. A condition indicative of back-pressure is also determined in response to a change of the buffer state passing a predetermined limit. In response to determining the condition indicative of back-pressure, a back-pressure notification message is created and, subsequently, transmitted to at least one second network node.

Claim (Index 16):
A first network node ( 10 ) for back-pressure control in a transport network, the first network node comprising:\n means ( 11 ) adapted to monitor a buffer state of a buffer; means ( 12 ) adapted to determine a condition indicative of back-pressure in response to a change of the buffer state passing a second predetermined limit; means ( 13 ) adapted to create a back-pressure notification message in response to determining the condition indicative of back-pressure, the back-pressure notification message including a combination of:\n i) a flow identifier ( 310 ) identifying a flow that contributes to back-pressure; and \n ii) back-pressure compensation information ( 420 ) indicating a suitable compensation for the back-pressure; and \n means ( 14 ) adapted to transmit the back-pressure notification message to a second network node.
