1. A distributed broadcast network, comprising:
a plurality of nodes organized into a binary tree structure where the connections between nodes represent communication paths over a communications network, said network further organized to include three types of nodes, t0, t1, and t2; the T0 nodes having a single parent node that feeds the T0 node with one or more data streams, the T0 node having no child nodes that receive data from the T0 node; the T1 nodes having a single parent node that feeds the T1 node with one or more data streams, the T1 node being configured to have no more than one child node that receives data from the T1 node; and, the T2 nodes having a single parent node that feeds the T2 node with one or more data streams, the T2 node being configured to have no more than two children nodes that receive data from the T2 node. |
