Claim 12:
13. A method for sending data packets encapsulated according to Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) protocol, implemented by a sending device of an Internet Protocol (IP)/MPLS network, the method being executed by the sending device and comprising:
obtaining an identifier representative of a group of data packets comprising at least one data packet,
inserting said identifier into at least a first part of a data field associated with an Entropy Label (EL) label or with an Entropy Label Indicator (ELI) label of the MPLS protocol of said at least one data packet, at least a second part of said data field being associated with an Entropy Label (EL) label and comprising a value of an entropy, and
sending said at least one data packet to a reading device of the IP/MPLS network.
