Abstract

A method is described for transmitting a byte stream (1) from a transmitter unit to a receiver unit in a network protocol, with the following steps: Removal of at least one data area (4a,4b) of the byte stream (1) from the byte stream, Transmission to the receiving unit of information relating to which data area (4a,4b) or which data areas (4a,4b) has or have been removed from the byte stream (1) and/or relating to the way in which the shortened byte stream is to be further processed, Transmission of the byte stream (5) shortened by at least one data area (4a, 4b) to the receiver unit, which, from the information and the shortened byte stream, determines and further processes the at least one data area removed by the transmitter unit.
