Soft stream hand over

摘要

Method and apparatus for providing a substantially seamless hand over of a user receiving a data stream when the user moves from a first location served by a first server to a second location served by a second server. The data stream is provided at both the first and the second servers, and the data streams at the first and second servers are synchronized so that when the user moves from the first location to the second location, the user will start receiving the data stream at the second location at substantially a same point in the data stream at which the user stops receiving the data stream at the first location.
