1. A preservation method for preserving a transmission rate of second data transmitted by a first terminal to a second terminal connected to at least one access device of a communications network, the method being carried out by a node of the communications network capable of routing said second data, and comprising:
determining an inability of the at least one access device to transmit first data received from the first terminal to the second terminal,
processing the first data received from the first terminal during the determined inability of the at least one access device, and
transmitting a notification message to the first terminal indicating that the processed first data are not subject to congestion, the notification message being transmitted after a delay t0 corresponding to a delay in the reception by the node of an acknowledgement message transmitted by the second terminal in response to a transmission of a message by the node to the second terminal.
