A technique enabling an access node to undertake more responsibility and render multicast streaming more effective by utilizing streaming service control messages SSCP which contain important information such as Quality of Experience or Quality of Service. The access node itself or in cooperation with a processing/monitoring entity may be enabled to analyze QOE data in SSCP report messages from different access network receivers, to identify specific receivers which encounter problems and to indicate the problems to the provider of the network.
