It is provided a method for controlling traffic between a mobile communication terminal (2) and a plurality of hosts (15a-15c), the method being performed in a TCP, Transport Control Protocol, proxy (10) of a cellular network, the TCP proxy comprising a radio side (11) towards the mobile communication terminal, and a network side (12) towards the plurality of hosts. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining a communication distance indicator for each TCP connection between the TCP proxy (10) and each one of the hosts (15a-15c); detecting a constrained traffic situation on the radio side (11) for traffic towards the mobile communication terminal; and reducing incoming traffic on the network side (12) based on the respective communication distance indicators, such that traffic is reduced relatively more for a TCP connection with a large communication distance indicator compared to a TCP connection with a small communication distance indicator.
