Abstract
A method of streaming media on an IP network includes receiving, at a media server, a request for a first media item from a first remote client in a first remote subnet of the IP network; determining a total number of clients of the first remote subnet that are requesting the first media item from the media server; generating a comparison result based on the determined number and a threshold value; and if the generated comparison result indicates that the determined number is greater than the threshold value, sending a signal from the media server to initiate a first relay server in the first subnet, and sending a signal from the media server instructing the first remote client to obtain the first media item from the first relay server.
