ABSTRACT:
A method for monitoring and controlling the data flow in a packet data net or a datagram net comprising lines and nodes, the lines via nodes connecting by the network comprised terminals between which traffic takes place in the form of data packets or datagram. Every line and every node comprises a process preceded by a certain queue of data packets/datagram. Data packets are sent in to the net from the terminal for with a given frequency during a given time interval. If during this interval no throttling order is received from the following process, the frequency is increased by a given factor. This occurs successively until a given maximum frequency is reached. If on the other hand a throttling order is received during the interval, the frequency is instead reduced by a given factor which also occurs successively until no throttling order is received during an interval.
