Abstract

A transmission of a digital content to a user terminal is managed by a network comprising a service subnetwork adapted for providing the terminal with a service token, and a digital contents distribution subnetwork which includes a control part and a transmission part. The control part of the distribution subnetwork receives a request from the user terminal for a digital content, indicating a service token. Next, if the service token is recognized as valid, an address relating to the distribution subnetwork is determined and a session token associated with said address is generated. A message indicating said address and the session token associated with said address is then transmitted to the user terminal.
