Abstract:
A method and a transmitting node for redirecting of a flow of data packets to a path of alternative paths, and a method and a receiving node for enabling redirection of a flow of data packets to a path of alternative paths, where data packets are marked with a value indicating the importance of the data packets. The method for directing directs one or more flows of data packets for the alternative paths, wherein data packets marked with a higher value are prioritized over data packets marked with a lower value. Based on feedback information, the transmitting node redirects a flow of data packets to a second path of the alternative paths, if the metric of congestion indicates a higher congestion on the first path than on the second path.
