  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BROADCASTING CONTENT TO NODES ON COMPUTER NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20080063003
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for broadcasting content in two streams to a plurality of nodes using two tree networks. The two tree networks have a plurality of nodes where each node is a repeater node or a leaf node. The first data stream is retransmitted down the first tree network by each repeater node in the first tree network. The second data stream is retransmitted down the second tree network by each repeater node in the second tree network. At least one of the nodes acting as a repeater in the first tree network acts as a leaf node in the second tree network, and at least one of the nodes acting as a leaf in the first tree network acts as a repeater node in the second tree network.
