Patent ID: 8121034

Claim:
A method comprising: transmission of data within a telecommunications system including at least one terminal capable of exchanging data streams with numerous communications networks through a plurality of interfaces of the terminal, at least one step of comparison between a maximum throughput rate value offered by an interface through which a particular stream travels and a cumulative value resulting from a sum of throughput rate values to be assigned to the streams effectively traveling through said interface, and at least one switching step during which another interface of the terminal is assigned to said stream when the maximum throughput rate value offered is lower than the cumulative value, which comprises a step of selecting one of the streams, called a selected stream, having a minimum throughput rate that obtains a value that is closest to the value of the maximum throughput rate offered by the interface, when the minimum throughput rate of the selected stream is subtracted from the sum of the values assigned to the streams traveling through the interface, the selected stream then being subjected to the switching step.
