Abstract

See full text

A terminal adapter for guaranteeing the quality of service of both voice and data packets is disclosed. When a data packet is received in a first data input queue of a terminal adapter, a determination is made whether a voice packet is present in a voice input queue. Another determination is made as to whether the sum of the size of the data packet and the size of all packets in a terminal adapter output queue would exceed a first size threshold established for the output queue. If voice packets are present in the voice input queue, or if the aforementioned sum exceeds the size threshold, the data packet is not forwarded to the output queue. If no voice packets are present in the voice input queue and if the aforementioned sum is below the first size threshold, then the data packet is forwarded to the output queue.
