Abstract

See full text

A novel video server is taught which allows for additional output bandwidth from the server by using multiple physical network interfaces over a single IP subnetwork. This approach is particularly well suited for use with video servers that store and deliver multimedia bit streams by allowing all clients to share the same subnetwork with the server. In this manner, the bandwidth from each of the physical network interface can be combined as needed and assigned as needed in service to any plurality of destinations in the network, allowing all bandwidth to be available for use with one or more clients.
