The device uses transmission paths for transmitting a stream of data packets, has receiver unit(s), memory unit(s), transmitter units, uses multiple paths with transmission times per packet and has a decision unit(s) that selects data packets so some are transmitted by one transmitter unit over a path whose expected storage time corresponds essentially to the difference between two transmission times and other data packets over the other path. The device uses at least two transmission paths (3-5) for transmitting a data stream consisting of a number of data packets (6) and contains at least one receiver unit (7), at least one memory unit (8) for storing data packets to be transmitted in the order of arrival, at least two transmitter units (9-11) for sending the data packets over a relevant transmission path, whereby each path has a transmission time per packet, and at least one decision unit. The decision unit selects data packets so that some are transmitted by one transmitter unit over a path whose expected storage time corresponds essentially to the difference between two transmission times and other data packets over the other path. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: (a) a method of selecting a transmission path for transmitting data packets. |
