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 1):
A method of back-pressure control in a transport network, the method being performed by a first network node and comprising:\n monitoring ( 250 ) a buffer state of a buffer; determining ( 252 ) a condition indicative of back-pressure in response to a change of the buffer state passing a second predetermined limit; in response to determining ( 252 ) the condition indicative of back-pressure, creating ( 254 ) a back-pressure notification message ( 400 ) 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 caused by the flow associated with said flow identifier ( 310 ); and \n transmitting ( 258 ) the back-pressure notification message ( 400 ) to a second network node.
