Abstract

See full text

The invention describes a method for transmitting data packets by a router, whereby the ports of the router are assigned to affinity values. The data packets also comprise affinity values. Depending on a match of the affinity values of the data packets and the affinity values of the ports, the router forwards the data packets to selected ports. Furthermore, the data of the payload of the data packets are attenuated depending on the affinity value that is used for selecting the port.
