ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method for classifying packets in a packet network. The method comprises the steps of detecting (S1) the length of a packet and classifying (S2, S3, S4) the packets depending on the detected length. By this method, it is possible to easily determine the different classes of packets by referring to the length of a packet. Hence, no special control data fields have to be generated and added to the packets in order to provide them with different transmission qualities in dependence on their class or type. Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a routing device adapted to carry out the method.
