A broadcast system provides support for clients to receive transmissions over a unicast or a multicast channel from a broadcast server. A server administrator configures each of a first server and client systems connected to the server to receive data in one of a multicast or unicast transmission mode. An empirical test determines whether an intervening network can support the configured mode and if not, transmission is performed using a fall back mode. The first server is able to provide access to data streams from other servers to the client systems connected thereto. Upon requesting a data stream from another server, the first server receives the data stream, replicates the data stream, transmits the data stream to the requesting client system and stores the replicated data stream for immediate access by any requesting client server connected thereto.

L'invention concerne un système de diffusion qui fournit aux clients un support pour recevoir des transmissions via un canal monodiffusion ou multidiffusion à partir d'un serveur de diffusion. Un administrateur du serveur configure un premier serveur et des systèmes client connectés au serveur de façon à recevoir les données dans un mode de transmission multidiffusion ou monodiffusion. Un test empirique détermine si un réseau d'interconnexion peut supporter le mode configuré et, si tel n'est pas le cas, la transmission se fait à l'aide d'un mode de secours. Le premier serveur peut permettre aux systèmes client connectés à ce serveur d'accéder à des flux de données provenant d'autres serveurs. Lorsqu'il demande un flux de données à un autre serveur, le premier serveur reçoit, répète et transmet ce flux de données au système client demandeur, puis il stocke le flux de données répété afin de permettre un accès immédiat à tout serveur client demandeur connecté à ce serveur.
