A method is performed by a network element (NE) in a network implementing an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). The method comprises generating a message comprising a header and data, wherein the header comprises a length of the data prior to compressing the data, a length of the data after compressing the data, and a compression identifier, compressing the data based on a compression scheme identified by the compression identifier to obtain compressed data, and forwarding a compressed message comprising the header and the compressed data to another NE in the network

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for policing data being sent from a plurality of sending devices (11, 12, 12a, 21, 22) to one or more receiving devices (12, 12b, 19, 29) via a network device (15, 25) in a communication network (10, 20), where at least one sending device (11, 12a, 22) is configured to perform a sender-side policing function in respect of data to be sent via the network and to apply a verification mark to verify that it has done so, and at least one sending device (12, 21) is not so configured. According to one aspect, the network device (15, 25) receives data from one of the plurality of sending devices (11, 12, 12a, 21, 22), inspects the data to determine whether a verification mark has been applied thereto, and if not, performs an in-network policing function. If so, the network device does not perform the in-network policing function, instead performing no policing function or an alternative policing function in respect of the data in question.

There is provided managing a data flow between a source node and a recipient node. A method comprises storing, at the source node, data frames into a buffer for transmission to the recipient node over a host-to-host protocol connection; measuring, at the source node, a connection quality of the host-to-host protocol connection; adjusting, at the source node, one or more target parameters of the transmission on the basis of the measured connection quality; transmitting, by the source node, data frames from the buffer to the recipient node on the basis of a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method and the adjusted one or more target parameters.
