ABSTRACT:
The invention proposes a method for conveying data packets in a network, comprising the steps of examining (S1, S2) whether a received data packet is encrypted, compressing (S3) the data packet in case it is examined that the data packet is not encrypted, and refraining form compressing (S4) in case it is examined that the data packet is encrypted. The invention also proposes a corresponding network element.
