  • System and method for distributing data simultaneously to multiple computers on a network, with advanced notice to intended recipients
    Patent number: 5857072
    Abstract: A system and method for distributing data to multiple computer locations associated with a computer network determines which of the multiple network computer locations are to receive a data distribution, and then generates a first message indicating the data comprising the data distribution and the network computer locations intended to receive the data distribution. The first message and the data distribution are transmitted to the network such that each of the multiple network locations is capable of receiving the data distribution. The multiple network computer locations examine the first message so that each network computer location can determine whether it is an intended location for receiving the data distribution. Then, one or more intended network locations receive the data distribution.
