This invention relates to a method, system, transmitter, network element, receiver and software application for a system capable of point-to-multipoint transmission, where one or more data packets are transmitted from a transmitter to one or more receivers, where at least at one specific receiver of said receivers, a reception of repair data packets is required, where repair information is signaled to a repair server in order to trigger a transmission of the repair data packets, and where the repair information comprises information related to the number of transmitted data packets correctly received at the specific receiver. The system may for instance be the 3GPP Multimedia Broadcast Multicast System, the transmission of data packets may for instance be controlled by the File Delivery Over Unidirectional Transport protocol and the signaling of the repair information may for instance be controlled by the Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
