A method of sending data units from a sending node to a receiving node via at least one intermediate node, where: the data units are arranged in a sequence and each data unit is associated with a sequence position identifier; the intermediate node forwards received data units towards the receiving node and sends feedback messages towards the sending node, where in case of a correct receipt of a given data unit at said intermediate node, a corresponding feedback message comprises a first type receive information that indicates said correct receipt at said intermediate node; the receiving node sends feedback messages towards the sending node, where in case of a correct receipt of a given data unit at said receiving node, a corresponding feedback message comprises a second type receive information that indicates said correct receipt at said receiving node; the intermediate node forwards said second type of receipt information towards said sending node and conducts a data unit retransmission procedure in dependence on received receive information; and the sending node conducts a data unit retransmission procedure in dependence on received receipt information of the first and second type, and conducts a data unit flow control procedure for controlling an amount of data that can be sent at a given time in dependence on said first and second type receipt information.
