A first node is associated with a client by a first TCP connection and associated with a second node by a second TCP connection. When downloading HTTP transferred data the first node receives from the client a request, requesting the HTTP transferred data from the second node, and initiates an interaction between the first node and the client by sending to the client a first response. The first node forwards the request to the second node, and forwards to the client a subsequent response received from the second node, and forwards to the client the HTTP transferred data at an available bit-rate, after being received from the second node. The first response is sent to the client before the subsequent response is forwarded to the client, and the available bit-rate for the requested HTTP transferred data is determined from the interaction between the client and the first node. |
