System and Method For Delivering Content Over a Multicast Network

摘要

A system for delivering content over a network includes a server. The server is configured to divide the content into multiple segments, to create multiple data streams using the segments of the content, and to transmit each of the data streams via a respective multicast session, wherein a copy of each of the multiple segments is transmitted during a single time slot of the multicast session.

1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores instructions; a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:
dividing content into multiple segments that correspond to multiple data streams, wherein each segment of the multiple segments is a separate portion of the content with respect to other segments of the multiple segments;transmitting, to a client, each of the multiple data streams via a separate multicast session of a plurality of multicast sessions, wherein first copies of each of the segments of the multiple segments in a first data stream of the multiple data streams are staggered in time from second copies of each of the segments of the multiple segments in a second data stream of the multiple data streams so that each of the multiple segments of the content are transmitted to the client during a period of time.
