Abstract

See full text

Channel changing can be accelerated by multicasting a bouquet of multicast burst streams from a server. In an example implementation, each multicast burst stream is delayed sufficiently so that a past independent frame is available for delivery to and display by a client device without waiting for a future independent frame. A multicast burst segment of a multicast burst stream includes a portion in which the bandwidth exceeds the nominal data rate of the underlying resource being streamed. The temporal delay between adjacent multicast burst streams in a multicast bouquet is set responsive to a maximum client delay time for tuning to a new resource stream.
