摘要：Network-units like routers generate indication signals - defining qualities forflow signals each comprising packet signals - by detecting specifiers (classifiers,identifiers, addresses) in said flow signals and by generating said indication signals independence of said specifiers. In this case in the network-unit all flow signals belongingto a session are treated equally. By storing flow-information in a memory and generatingsaid indication signals further in dependence of flow-information of previous flow signals,within a session certain flow signals can be treated individually, for rewarding flow signalswith a higher quality (less delay) in case a session takes longer, and taking into account acertain threshold being exceeded or not. This can be done by adjusting quality indicatorsin flow signals (Diffserv) and by requesting qualities for flow signals (Intserv). Said flow-information preferably comprises information about a number of flow signals per sessionand/or time-interval.
