Method for switching a packet to a bearer in a mobile telecommunication network, by setting up multiple parallel bearers for bearing the packet across a radio interface; associating the bearers with a bearer priority level of traffic handling; determining a priority level of the packet; mapping the packet priority level to the bearer priority level; switching the packet to one of the bearers based on the mapping; using the bearer priority level to prioritise the access to the radio resources. A further method for switching a packet by setting up multiple parallel bearers without resource reservation; associating each of the bearers with a bearer priority level; mapping a flow of packets to one of the bearer priority levels, when a service is started; switching each packet to one of the multiple bearers based on the mapping; using the bearer priority level to prioritise the access to the radio resources.
