Abstract
A method for evaluating an available bitrate over a path among one of at least two paths linking a first endpoint and a second endpoint, the path being called an evaluation path, is disclosed. The first endpoint is configured for sending data packets to the second endpoint, the second endpoint is configured for sending at each data packet reception an acknowledgment message to the first endpoint through one of the at least two path selected at each data packet reception. The method comprises, at the first endpoint, steps of: A method for sending at a second endpoint an acknowledgement message over a path among one of at least two paths linking a first endpoint and said second endpoint is further disclosed. Associated device for evaluating an available bitrate and device for sending at a second endpoint an acknowledgement message are disclosed.
