DISTRIBUTING COMMUNICATION OF A DATA STREAM AMONG MULTIPLE DEVICES

摘要

Disclosed example methods to distribute communication of a data stream include assigning, at a first device, a group code to identify a group of devices to be included in a stream splitting session to distribute the communication of the data stream, the group of devices including the first device. Disclosed example methods also include transmitting the group code from the first device to a second device included in the group of devices. Disclosed example methods further include transmitting a first request including the group code and an identifier of a source of the data stream to a distribution system to establish the stream splitting session, and receiving, at the first device, a first portion of the data stream in response to the first request.

1. A method to distribute communication of a data stream, the method comprising:
assigning, at a first device by executing an instruction with a processor of the first device, a group code to identify a group of devices to be included in a stream splitting session to distribute the communication of the data stream, the group of devices including the first device; transmitting, by executing an instruction with the processor, the group code from the first device to a second device included in the group of devices; transmitting, by executing an instruction with the processor, a first request including the group code and an identifier of a source of the data stream to a distribution system to establish the stream splitting session; and receiving, at the first device, a first portion of the data stream in response to the first request.
