Communication nodes, methods therein, computer programs and a computer-readable storage medium
First Claim
1. A method in a first communication node for transmitting a packet in a first packet network operated by a first network operator towards a destination node, wherein the first communication node is part of the first packet network, the method comprising:
- receiving the packet at the first communication node, the packet as received being already marked with a first value related to resource sharing in a second packet network operated by a second network operator, wherein the first value indicates a level of importance of the packet, relative to importance of other packets, along a scale of the second packet network;
remarking the packet with a second value related to resource sharing in the first packet network, wherein the second value indicates a level of importance of the packet, relative to importance of other packets, along a scale of the first packet network; and
transmitting, over the first packet network, the remarked packet towards the destination node.

Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to a method in a first communication node (10′) for transmitting a packet in a first packet network operated by a first network operator towards a destination node (10″,12). The first communication node (10′) is comprised in the first packet network. The first communication node (10′) receives a packet with a first value related to resource sharing in a second packet network operated by a second network operator, wherein the first value indicates a level of importance of the packet relative importance of another packet along a scale of the second packet network. The first communication node (10′) remarks the packet with a second value related to resource sharing in the first packet network, wherein the second value indicates a level of importance of the packet relative importance of another packet along a scale of the first packet network. The first communication node (10′) transmits, over the first packet network, the remarked packet towards the destination node (10″,12).

8. A method in a second communication node for transmitting, from a first packet network operated by a first network operator, a packet towards a destination node in a second packet network operated by a second network operator, wherein the second communication node is part of the first packet network, the method comprising:
-
receiving the packet, at the second communication node, the packet as received being already marked with a second value related to resource sharing in the first packet network, wherein the second value indicates a level of importance of the packet, relative to importance of other packets, along a scale of the first packet network; retrieving a first value in the received packet, which first value is related to resource sharing in the second packet network, and which first value indicates a level of importance of the packet, relative to importance of other packets, along a scale of the second packet network; and transmitting the packet with the first value towards the destination node in the second packet network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

21. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising, stored thereupon, a computer program comprising instructions that, when executed on at least one processor of a first communication node in a first packet network operated by a first network operator, cause the at least one processor to cause the first communication node to:
-
receive a packet, the packet as received being already marked with a first value related to resource sharing in a second packet network operated by a second network operator, wherein the first value indicates a level of importance of the packet, relative to importance of other packets, along a scale of a second packet network; remark the packet with a second value related to resource sharing in the first packet network, wherein the second value indicates a level of importance of the packet, relative to importance of other packets, along a scale of the first packet network; and transmit, over the first packet network, the remarked packet towards a destination node.
