Abstract
The present invention provides a streaming media cache configured to select a timing interval, chosen from a set of one or more predetermined timing intervals, for each client that requests a data stream from the streaming media cache. Illustratively, clients requesting data streams below a predetermined bit rate (“bandwidth”) are assigned longer timing intervals than clients requesting data streams above the predetermined bit rate. More specifically, because the server can accommodate a larger number of relatively low-bandwidth clients than relatively high-bandwidth clients, the server selects timing intervals of longer duration for the relatively low-bandwidth clients so it may have more time to schedule send times for their requested packets.
