Abstract
The present invention provides a method and related devices for installing software components at a user-terminal of a plurality of user-terminals in a communications-network. This communications network further consists of a plurality of hosts and a plurality of network gateways. The user-terminal is connected to one of the network gateways. The network gateway receives a connection request from a user-terminal to establish a connection between the user-terminal and one of the hosts and detects if the software components are available at the user-terminal. If the software components are not available, the network gateway sets the establishment of the connection between the user-terminal and the host in hold and subsequently establishes a connection between the user-terminal and a service provisioning network element that also is included in the communications network. The service provisioning network element downloads the software components to the user-terminal over a established connection between the user-terminal and the service provisioning network element. The network gateway resumes the establishment of the connection between the user-terminal and the host upon detection of the end of the download.
