Abstract
There is provided a method comprising: preparing a data packet for transmission on a bearer, wherein at least one of the following is configured for transmission: a first network node and a second network node, checking whether at least one predetermined criterion is met, selecting, based at least partly on the said checking, whether to transmit the data packet via the first network node, via the second network node, or via both the first and the second network nodes, and transmitting the data packet according to the selecting.

-51. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- preparing a data packet for transmission on a bearer;
- checking whether at least one predetermined criterion is met;
- selecting, based at least partly on the said checking, whether to transmit the data packet via a first network node, via a second network node, or via both the first and the second network nodes;
- and
- transmitting the data packet according to the selecting.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including a 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:
- prepare a data packet for transmission on a bearer;
- check whether at least one predetermined criterion is met;
- select, based at least partly on the said checking, whether to transmit the data packet via a first network node, via a second network node, or via both the first and the second network nodes;
- and
- transmit the data packet according to the selecting.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause a network access node to:
- transmit an indication to at least one terminal device, wherein the indication causes the at least one terminal device to apply at least one predetermined criterion for selecting whether to transmit at least one data packet via a first network node, via a second network node, or via both the first and the second network nodes.
