FIELD: electrical communication equipment.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for transmitting data between a terminal and a gateway. Data transported by Ethernet frames comprising an Ethernet header and a payload, which are themselves encapsulated in lower level packets (DVB-P), each comprising header (DVB-H) containing medium access address indicator (DVB-MAC). Contexts common to frames whose Ethernet headers have static fields are determined and an identifier of each said context is determined. All or some of said frames are associated with the corresponding context identifiers and said static fields are removed from their Ethernet headers. Context identifier of each frame for which said fields of the Ethernet header have been removed the header of the lower level packet is introduced, encapsulating it in replacement of its medium access address indicator.
EFFECT: technical result is reduction of additional overhead caused by headers when transmitting Ethernet frames between a terminal and a gateway.
