1. A method of transmitting data packets in forward and backward directions via a multiplexed communications medium, wherein each of the data packets is associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of connections, the method comprising the steps of:

  • for each connection, assigning a forward delay limit and a corresponding backward delay limit, wherein the sum of the forward and backward delay limits is less than or equal to a round-trip delay bound for the connection;

    using the assigned forward delay limits to determine the order in which the data packets supplied by the plurality of connections will be transmitted in the forward direction; and

    using the assigned backward delay limits to determine the order in which the data packets supplied by the plurality of connections will be transmitted in the backward direction.
