Method for transmitting of a multi-channel data stream on a multi-transport tunnel, corresponding computer-readable storage means and tunnel end-points

Computer-readable storage means, storing a set of instructions that can be executed by a computer to implement a method of transmitting a multi-channel data stream comprising frames comprising a plurality of channels, the transmitting being done via a multi-transport tunnel from a first tunnel end-point to a second tunnel end-point, said tunnel implementing a first carrier supporting a transport protocol with acknowledgement and a second carrier supporting a transport protocol without acknowledgement,

• wherein the first tunnel end-point performs steps, for a given frame of said stream, of:
• obtaining at least one piece of information on quantities of data of said multi-channel data stream received by the second tunnel end-point;
• routing the channels of a frame of said multi-channel data stream received by the first tunnel end-point to one of said carriers of the tunnel, as a function of said at one least piece of information obtained;
• supplying one piece of synchronization information with said channels;
• transmitting to the second tunnel end-point each of the channels of said given frame via the carrier to which said channel has been routed as well as their associated piece of synchronization information.

A first tunnel end-point participating in a transmission of a multi-channel data stream comprising frames comprising a plurality of channels, the transmission being done via a multi-transport tunnel from a first tunnel end-point to a second tunnel end-point, said tunnel implementing a first carrier supporting a transport protocol with acknowledgment and a second carrier supporting a transport protocol without acknowledgment,

• wherein said first tunnel end-point comprises:
• means for obtaining at least one piece of information on quantities of data of said multi-channel data stream received by the second tunnel end-point;
• means for routing said channels of a frame of said multi-channel data stream received by the first tunnel end-point to the of said carriers of the tunnel, as a function of said at least one piece of information obtained;
• means for supplying one piece of synchronization information with said channels;
• means for transmitting to the second tunnel end-point each of the channels of said given frame via the carrier to which said channel has been routed as well as its supplied piece of synchronization information.
