this invention relates to a method for reconstructing non - continuous packetized data of a continuous data stream like streamed media , voice , audio , or video from a data connection into a continuous data stream at the receiving point of a packet - based network , comprising the steps of providing of at least one estimation method based on at least one characteristic value concerning data connections of the kind intended for , gathering measurements of at least one value characterizing the data connection , evaluating a de - jittering delay for the data connection by predicted parameters taking into account the at least one provided value and the at least one gathered value , delaying and converting the data packets following the evaluated de - jittering delay as well as , an output unit , a terminal , and computer program products therefore .
