    • A method (100) for operating a time-sensitive network, TSN (1), wherein this TSN comprises at least a first, high-importance segment (1a) and a second, low-importance segment (1b), such that traffic within the first segment (1a) on the one hand and traffic within the second segment (1b) on the other hand pass through different sets of physical links (2a-2b; 2c-2e) in the TSN (1), the first segment (1a) is connected to a first port (4a) of a border network element (4) that connects the first (1a) and second (1b) segments, and the second segment (1b) is connected to a second port (4b) of this border network element (4), the method (100) comprising the steps of:
      • splitting (110), on network elements (3a-3e) in the first (1a) and second segments (1b), data streams (5a-5g) into a "preempting" class (7a) and a "preemptable" class (7b) based on a mapping from priority labels (6a-6g) attached to these data streams (5a-5g) to classes (7a, 7b);
      • forwarding (120), by the network elements (3a-3e), the data streams (5a-5g) to respective next-hop network elements (3a-3e, 4) wherein, at least in case of congestion on a link (2a-2e) to the respective next-hop network element (3a-3e, 4), the forwarding of "preempting" data streams takes precedence over the forwarding of "preemptable" data streams; and
      • forwarding (130), by the border network element (4), the data streams (5a-5g) received from both segments (1a, 1b) based on the priority labels (6a-6g) and the classes (7a, 7b) of the data streams (5a-5g), to at least one next-hop network element (8), wherein, at least in case of congestion on a link (2f) to the next-hop network element (8), the forwarding of "preempting" data streams (5a-5g) takes precedence over the forwarding of "preemptable" data streams (5a-5g),
      wherein:
      • the priority label (6a-6g) attached to the data stream (5a-5g) that has the highest priority within the first segment (1a) is different (111) from the priority label (6a-6g) attached to the data stream (5a-5g) that has the highest priority within the second segment (1b); and/or
      • the mapping between priority labels (6a-6g) and classes (7a, 7b) in the second segment (1b) is different (112) from the mapping between priority labels (6a-6g) and classes (7a, 7b) in the first segment (1a).
