VIDEO-ON-DEMAND SESSION MOBILITY IN A HOME NETWORK

摘要

A method is provided for enabling video session mobility amongst network devices (12) residing in a packet switched network. The method includes: creating an entry into a content listing directory upon receipt of a request for a video-on-demand session, where the content listing directory exposes the requested video session to the network devices (12) residing in the packet switched network; receiving network address information for a network device requesting receipt of the requested video session at a primary receiving device (DTV-12) in the packet switched network; accessing content associated with the requested video session at the primary receiving device (DTV-12); and forwarding the content for the requested video session from the primary receiving device to the requesting network device using the network address information.
