Abstract
Against this backdrop systems and methods have been developed for selecting a least-cost transmission route for streaming data between a server and client. In an embodiment, a client sends a request for data to a gateway. The gateway maintains information regarding the servers available to stream the data and the costs associated with the different networks available between the servers and the client. From this information the gateway identified what transmission routes are available and selects the lowest cost transmission route for streaming the data. If comparable cost transmission routes are found, a selection is made based on secondary criteria. The client is the directed by the gateway to send a request to the appropriate server to stream the data via the selected transmission route.
