<p>A system and method for fault tolerant multimedia communication provides a first connectionless channel (115) for communicating packets from a server (110) to a client (120). Packets are either headers (H1-Hn) or media packets (M1-Mn). Head packets (H1-Hn) include only a header payload providing information pertaining to succeeding media packets (M1-Mn). One or more media packets (M1-Mn) corresponding to a single frame of video succeeds each header packet. The client (120) detects missing packets and determines whether or not the missing packet is a header packet. If a header packet is missing, the corresponding succeeding media packets (M1-Mn) are not processed. Instead, the system waits until the next header packet is received to resume processing of media packets succeeding that next received header packet.</p> |
