Abstract: A method performed by a packet network device for enabling forwarding of packet data traffic among a plurality of physical links from the packet network device towards a destination packet network device, e.g. in an unequal split ratio. A number of virtual links are established 504 alongside at least one physical link of the plurality of physical links. The packet data traffic is routed 506 among the physical links and the established virtual links, utilizing a shortest path routing protocol with load balancing. By establishing virtual links alongside physical links packet the data packet traffic may be routed on the total number of links, thereby achieving a more effective use of available communication resources.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling downloading of video segments or segmented video stream to a subscriber client unit, and a subscriber client unit adapted to perform said method. One object of the invention is to guarantee seamless playback and the optimal server load. Said object is by a method and a subscriber client unit that is controlled by a segment selector (SSA) and a server bandwidth control (SBC) algorithm.
