Abstract
There is disclosed a method and controller for controlling an information flow in a data transmission system including receiving a plurality of data packets having a received packet length and at a received sample rate. The method and controller also includes determining a configured packet length for each data packet based on a configured service rate for each data packet. The method and controller may also include scheduling each data packet in accordance with a respective configured packet length.

A method of controlling an information flow in a data transmission system, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of data packets having a received packet length and at a received sample rate;
- and
- determining a configured packet length for each data packet based on a configured service rate for each data packet.
A controller for controlling an information flow in a data transmission system, comprising:
- input means for receiving a plurality of data packets having a received packet length and at a received sample rate;
- means for determining a configured packet length for each data packet based on a configured service rate for each data packet;
- and
- output means for outputting the data packet at the configured service rate.
A controller for controlling an information flow in a data transmission system, comprising:
- an input interface configured to receive a plurality of data packets having a received packet length and at a received sample rate;
- a policer/shaper configured to determine a configured packet length for each data packet based on a configured service rate for each data packet;
- and
- an output interface configured to output the data packet at the configured service rate.
