Abstract
A data traffic policer (POL) included in a telecommunication network, to police data traffic which includes data packets that are part of a lower order data flow that is on its turn part of a higher order data flow. Each data packet is associated to a lower order identifier (LOI) that identifies the lower order data flow and to a higher order identifier that (HOI) identifies the higher order data flow. The policer (POL) includes first determiner (DET1) coupled to an input of the policer (POL) to determine, upon reception of a data packet, its lower order identifier (LOI). A first controller (CTRL1) coupled to the first determiner (DET1) checks a conformance of the data packet according to predefined lower order conformance rules (LOC(LOI)) associated to its lower order identifier (LOI) and provides thereby a lower order conformance result (LOCR) that is lower order conforming or lower order non-conforming. Furthermore the policer (POL) includes second determiner (DET2) coupled to the input to determine the higher order identifier (HOI) that is associated to the data packet and forwards the higher order identifier (HOI) to a second controller (CTRL2). The second controller (CTRL2) checks a conformance of the data packet according to predefined higher order conformance rules (HOC(HOI)) associated to the higher order identifier (HOI) and provides a higher order conformance result (HOCR) that is higher order conforming or higher order non-conforming. The policer (POL) includes declarer (DECL) coupled between the first controller (CTRL1), the second controller (CTRL2) and an output (OUT) of the policer (POL). The declarer (DECL) declares, in the event when the lower order conformance result (LOCR) is lower order non-conforming, and the higher order conformance result (HOCR) is higher order conforming, the data packet as conforming. As a result, when being transmitted, the data packet uses some leftover bandwidth from another lower order data flow within the higher order data flow. After the heading, delete the title in its entirety.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
