MULTICHANNEL INTERNET BROADCASTING RELAY SYSTEM AND NETWORK METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: A multichannel internet broadcasting relay system is provided to relay internet broadcasting, minimize installation and maintenance costs of a live server, and minimize a network bandwidth for transferring live data from a server. CONSTITUTION: A broadcast server(200) is connected to an internet service provider and encodes a data stream for internet broadcasting to provide a channel service. A plurality of relay servers are connected to the internet service provider and receive a data stream sent from the broadcast server(200). The relay servers copy a corresponding channel by a client number and provide the data stream to respective clients through an internet network. The relay servers receives the data stream through a local network from other relay server under the control of a relay management server(210), and transfer the received data stream to a client of requiring a corresponding channel via the internet network.
