Providing Information of Data Streams

A method for receiving information regarding at least one first stream of data according to a first protocol, the method comprising

• receiving a second stream of data in accordance with a second protocol and including at least a portion of the least one first stream of data, wherein the second protocol is a lower layer protocol than the first protocol and the second stream of data includes an encoding of information associated with the at least one first stream of data in a predefined control information field, and
• processing the at least one first stream of data based on said information in the predefined control information field of the second stream of data.

An apparatus for providing information associated with data streams, the apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to

• determine at least one first stream of data in accordance with a first protocol, and
• generate a second stream of data in accordance with a second protocol, wherein the second protocol is a lower layer protocol than the first protocol and the apparatus includes at least a portion of the determined at least one first stream of data in the second stream of data and encodes into a predefined control information field of the second stream of data information associated with the at least one first stream of data for use in processing the at least one first stream of data.
