PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an enhanced method for managing an overflow state when storing a received data packet into storage space of a buffer. SOLUTION: The disclosed method comprises the steps of receiving the data blocks of a current data packet and writing in free storage space of the buffer the data blocks of the current data packet as received. If there is not enough free storage space in the buffer for writing a received data block of the current data packet, the method continues with ceasing to write received data blocks of the current data packet, and defining at least one written data block of the current data packet as free storage space, so that the received data blocks of a next data packet can be written over the written data blocks of the current data packet.
