Abstract:
A method, in a first node, for handling one or more jobs, wherein said first node receives a job over an incoming link, which job comprises a job value, wherein said method comprises the steps of determining, by said first node, a deviation of a queuing delay of the first communication node from a target queuing delay value, and using, by said first node, said deviation as an error value to determine a dropping probability which is used to determine a threshold value, wherein said threshold value corresponds to or is associated with a congestion level of a queue of the job, comparing, by said first node, the job value with the threshold value and establishing that said job value is below said threshold value, dropping, by said first node, said job based on said comparison.
