Timer Optimization Techniques for Multicast to Unicast Conversion of Internet Protocol Video

摘要

Multicast to unicast conversion may be provided. First, a request for a data packet may be received at a conversion device. The conversion device may determine that that the requested data packet has not yet been received using a multicast transmission protocol. Next, the conversion device may wait a time period to receive the data packet using the multicast transmission protocol. When the data packet has not been received within the time period, conversion device may then request the data packet using a unicast transmission protocol.
