The invention provides a method and apparatus for communicating over a commu nications network (1) comprising determining a time delay between transmission and reception of data block between nodes (A , B, C, D) in the network (1) and controlling the amount of data transmitted in each of the data blocks in accordance with the determine d time delay. By controlling the amount of data transmit ted in the data blocks according to the determined time delay, the time delay pr oduced by assembling the data blocks is modified thereby controlling the overall system time delay which comprises a transmission pat h delay and a delay caused by the assembly of the data b lock by the network nodes (A, B, C, D). |
