Abstract
The invention concerns a method for flow control in a peer-to-peer live streaming communication network comprising a plurality of nodes characterized in that the rate at which a node sends information to another node increases proportionally to the quantity of information present at node which has not yet reached node and decreases proportionally to a value attached to the link connecting node to node.
