Abstract:
A device is intended to obtain content by means of at least two transport protocols having different requirements in terms of available network bandwidth. Such content is available in different versions on at least a content server and the versions correspond to different transmission binary bit rates and are subdivided into chunks adapted to be transmitted via a communication network. This device is arranged to request to said at least one server a transmission of at least one chunk according to a version of a content and according to a transport protocol, the transport protocol and the version being selectable in response to a current value of the available bandwidth of said communication network.
