  • Methods and apparatus for supporting transmission of streaming data
    Patent number: 7865599
    Abstract: A gateway application in a content engine multiplexes requests for real-time content to servers that, in turn, service the requests by streaming appropriate real-time content to requesting users. A software communication port of the content engine may be reserved to receive request messages from multiple client computers, at least two of which request streaming of real-time content according to different selected formats. After identifying client properties (e.g., a format for which to receive streaming real-time content) associated with the requests for real-time content, the gateway application identifies corresponding servers of the content engine to serve the real-time content according to the different selected formats. The gateway application forwards the requests for streaming of real-time content associated with the request messages to the corresponding servers which, in turn, satisfy the requests by streaming the requested real-time content to the client computers.
