Abstract
IP encapsulation equipment encapsulates, into bursts, IP packets representing sets of multimedia data delivered by at least one multimedia content server. The bursts are accompanied beforehand by information data at least partly defining the set of data that is integrated into those IP packets and/or the content of which that set of data forms part, with a view to the broadcasting thereof to receiver equipments via a communication network. The information data added to the received IP packets is analyzed to instruct the encapsulation means to encapsulate at least some of those IP packets in selected positions in the bursts as a function of the corresponding information data. In this manner, all the IP packets including, the data of a set, are encapsulated in a single burst.
