Patent ID: 7848236

Claim:
A method, comprising: providing for transmitting packet-based transmission flows comprising packets of configured quality classes within a session capable of handling at least two distinguishable flows, the method further comprising receiving, at a first protocol layer, packets of at least one flow as an at least first flow of the session, from a second protocol layer; analyzing, at said first layer, the received packets in terms of the configured quality classes; and separating, from said at least first flow, those segments of the packets of a configured quality class, which configured quality class differs from a quality class associated to said at least first flow of the session, the separated segments of the packets arranged into at least one other flow of the session, such that a new flow of the session is established in case that there is no flow present or in case that there is no flow present having a quality class preset which matches the quality class of the separated segments, to which the separated segments can be arranged into, the newly established flow being used to transmit multiple packet segments; wherein one or more of the at least first flow and the newly established flow are configured to be de-established in response to a determination based on flow identities associated with received packets and flow identities associated with the one or more of the at least first flow and the newly established flow.
