SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INTERNET BROADCASTING DATA BASED ON HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURE

摘要

A system and method for providing Internet broadcasting data based on hierarchical structure, which can reduce a bottleneck problem due to data congestion. The method for providing Internet broadcasting data includes the steps of: a) if a connection request signal is received from a first termina l, determining whether a number of terminals connected to a server is smaller than a threshold value; b) if the number of the terminals connected to the server is smaller than the threshold value, transmitting broadcasting data t o the first terminal; and c) if the number of the terminals connected to the server is not smaller than the threshold value, leading the first terminal t o try to connect a second terminal, wherein the second terminal is one of the terminals connected to the server.
