Method for managing a distribution of bandwidth in a communications network, corresponding computer-readable storage medium and slave node

A computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program comprising a set of instructions executable by a computer in order to implement a method for managing a distribution of bandwidth in a communications network by a slave node of said network, said network comprising a set of nodes, wherein said slave node performs steps of:

• determining a coarse representation and a detailed representation of the distribution of the bandwidth in said network, as a function of a piece or pieces of information relative to conditions of transmission in said network and/or relative to applications needs of transmission;
• receiving a coarse reference representation of the distribution of the bandwidth in said network, coming from a master node of said network;
• comparing said determined coarse representation and said reference coarse representation;
• when said coarse representations are identical, applying said determined detailed representation;
• if not, applying said coarse reference representation.

A slave node comprising means for managing a distribution of bandwidth in a communications network comprising a set of nodes, wherein said slave node comprises:

• means for determining a coarse representation and a detailed representation of the distribution of the bandwidth in said network, as a function of a piece or pieces of information relative to conditions of transmission in said network and/or relative to applications needs of transmission;
• means for receiving a coarse reference representation of the distribution of the bandwidth in said network, coming from a master node of said network;
• means for comparing said determined coarse representation and said reference coarse representation;
• means for applying, that apply said detailed representation determined by said means for determining, when said means for comparing detect that said coarse representations are identical, or if not, that apply said coarse reference representation.
