Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting data for a specific service from a first network element 5 of a communications network via at least a second network element 10 of a communications network to a group of terminals 13, wherein said first network element 5 receives said data for said specific service from a service provider 1-4. In order to enable larger data or data with a longer life time, it is proposed that the first network element 5 distributes said data for said specific service to one or more packets for transmission to said at least second network element 10. Further, the first network element 5 provides each of said one or more packets with a data flow identification information which enables said at least second network element 10 to identify all received packets to which said data for said specific service was distributed.
