Abstract:
1. A method comprising: buffering encoded media data in a buffer, the encoded media data being included in network transmission units, the network transmission units having been ordered in a transmission order which is at least partly different from a decoding order of the encoded media data in the network transmission units, the decoding order having been indicated for at least one part of the network transmission units; defining, in a processor, a difference in decoding order for the at least one network transmission unit; utilizing, in the processor, a maximum difference in decoding order for the network transmission units in the buffer; and checking, in the processor, the maximum difference in decoding order for the network transmission units in the buffer against the difference in decoding order for the at least one network transmission unit, the result of the checking being indicative of at least one network transmission unit in the buffer preceding, in decoding order, any network transmission unit in a sequence of network transmission units not having been buffered in the buffer before the checking.
