Abstract
Processing a request for delivery of data sent by a customer terminal to a remote server via a telecommunication network. The terminal accesses the network by at least two links of distinct access types. The data is encoded in a stream with a predetermined bit rate, which is cut into segments. Processing includes, for a segment of the stream: determining a sub-segment size based on the number of links and a size of the data stream to be delivered; calculating a partitioning of the segment into sub-segments according to the set size and a distribution of the sub-segments on the plurality of links, according to a scheduling of the sub-segments in the partitioning and a time constraint; and sending a plurality of sub-segment transmission requests to the server over the plurality of links, each request including an identifier of the segment and indexes of a sub-segment start and end.
