Abstract
A first data stream (26) requested by a first client (1) is received at a router (16). A second data stream (24) requested by a second client (2) is also received at the router (16). The router (16) determines that the first data stream (26) and the second data stream (24) are identical. The router (16) multicasts the first data stream (26) and the second data stream (24) into a single multicast data stream (28). The single multicast data stream (28) is transmitted to the first client (1) and to the second client (2).
