    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to media streaming, and in particular to devices (1, 2,3) and methods (4, 5) effecting a collaborative delivery of correlated media streams. Inter alia, a synchronizing node (1) is provided, comprising a processor (11) being configured to: establish (41) a synchronization of one or more source nodes (2) with respect to the synchronizing node (1) based on a heartbeat; receive (42) one or more packets from a number of the one or more source nodes (2) in accordance with the established synchronization; process (43) the one or more received packets in dependence of a compliance with the heartbeat; and maintain (44) the compliance with the heartbeat. This provides a collaborative delivery scheme enabling correlated media streams/packets to be delivered and to arrive at their destination "together" to meet the application requirement, without relying on global clock synchronization of all nodes and with minimum delay.
