A data communication system is provided, comprising at least one transmitter that communicates data packets (504, 506) via a data communication network and/or a data carrier to at least one receiver. The transmitter is operable to include within at least one of the data packets a plurality of mutually different types of data, e.g. video, audio, text etc. The communication system communicates to the receiver information that is indicative of one or more priorities of the plurality of mutually different types of data. Optionally, this is done within the at least one of the data packets (504, 506). The system uses a packet of the maximum size allowed across the network, so that the packet is transmitted without splitting it into fragments. |
