Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method for increasing the reliability of a packet delivery by using dynamic packet cloning on a source node and an intermediate node, the method comprising the steps of calculating an achieved reliability, calculating a calculated reliability using the achieved reliability, determining which of a plurality of first routes that have a reliability greater than the calculated reliability, selecting a first route from the determined first routes wherein the selected first route has the lowest reliability of the determined first routes, when there is at least one determined first routes, selecting a first route from the plurality of first routes wherein the selected first route has highest reliability of the plurality of first routes, when there are no determined first routes, updating a required reliability in the packet header to the reliability of the selected first route and sending the packet on the selected first route.
