The present invention relates to a method and related devices to be used for cell tagging in a communications network through which cells arranged in frames are transmitted. This communications-network exists of a traffic politer which is coupled to a network buffer. A cell stream is supplied to this traffic politer. The system determines if the incoming cells are in accordance with the predetermined criteria and tags this cell, if the cell is not in accordance with these criteria. Since in this way only single cells from a frame are tagged, the frame may exist of a mix of tagged and non-tagged cells. Afterwards the distribution of tagged and non-tagged cells is determined, and based on this distribution and some predetermined criteria a decision is made to tag or to set all cells to non-tagged. In this way the frames only exist of tagged cells or non tagged cells. In case of congestion, only entire frames are discarded, not leaving incomplete frames in the network. Network resources consequently are no longer occupied by incomplete frames that are not used. This cell tagging method and related system avoids incomplete frames in the communications network which are not used in some way by this network, decreasing in this way the network load.
