Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for performing a rate shaping of multiple data streams which are to be transmitted through a network. The network has the capability to perform a rate shaping using a first rate shaping scheme and at least one other rate shaping scheme other than said first rate shaping scheme. The method can include determining based on the resources of the network the maximum number n of data streams for which said first rate shaping scheme can be applied as a rate shaping scheme, selecting n data streams among the multiple data streams which are to be transmitted and performing a transcoding on them to perform a rate shaping, and performing a rate shaping for other data streams using a different rate shaping scheme other than said first rate shaping scheme.
