摘要

Embodiments provide a control apparatus, an application apparatus, a data determination apparatus, methods for coordinating storage, for processing a data packet, and for determining a data packet, and corresponding computer programs. The control apparatus (10) is operable to coordinate storage of a data packet at at least two data storage entities of a communication network (60). The control apparatus (10) comprises a control module (12) operable to determine information related to a segmentation of the data packet into at least two data packet segments. The control module (12) is further operable to determine information related to the at least two different data storage entities (40). The at least two different data storage entities (40) are operable to store the at least two data packet segments. The control apparatus (10) further comprises one or more interfaces (14) operable to communicate the information related to the segmentation and the information related to the at least two data storage entities (40) to an application device (20) and to a determination device (30) for the data packet. The application apparatus (20) and determination apparatus (30) are adapted accordingly.
