Abstract
The reliability of a data flow between a server and a client in a data communications network is increased. An application in a user terminal is arranged to receive information from a server, such as a push server or a streaming server, in the network. A user who should have an active connection to the server is monitored to determine if the user currently has such a connection. An appropriate action is taken if this is not the case. The user's connection to the data communications network is monitored. If connected to the data communications network, the user should also have an active connection to said server.
