At least two data streams, each having one or more data messages, are provided to a server of a computer network having a server and one or more clients. The data messages are fragmented into data segments and a sequence of network data packets is generated. Each network data packet has (1) a network header (conforming to the requirements of the computer network), (2) a link packet header containing information for logically relating the two data streams, and (3) one of the data segments from the data streams. The sequence of network data packets is transmitted by the server over the computer network for selective receipt and processing by the clients. In a preferred embodiment, audio, video, and/or text data streams are logically related as channels and multicast over the computer network in a specified format.
