VIDEO AUDIO STREAM DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, DISTRIBUTION METHOD, AND DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM

摘要

It is possible to provide a video audio stream distribution system, a distribution method, and a distribution program which can improve the stream switching speed during zapping and suppress the actually used network resource in streaming for which QoS is guaranteed. Zapping destination means (211) predicts a stream required for the next distribution request and band managing means (209) instructs only band allocation for the predicted stream to band control means (205) before a distribution request is made by an actual zapping operation.
