Methods and nodes (200, 202) in a data distribution network, for distributing content to multiple consuming nodes (C1, C2, C3,...). A first node (200) detects (2:2) multiple data flows (2:1b) of a first content from the first node to a second node (202) in the distribution network, when the first node operates as delivering node of the first content for the consuming nodes. The first node then instructs (2:4) the second node to operate as delivering node of the first content for the consuming nodes and redirects (2:5) the consuming nodes to use the second node as delivering node of the first content. The first node further reduces (2:6) the multiple data flows to a common data flow of the first content to the second node. Thereby, efficiency can be improved in the data distribution network by reducing the number of data flows between the first and second nodes. |
