CA 2621990

A server in connection with a plurality of multimedia sources that has a plurality of clients. The server determines if at least one of the clients is requesting to receive at least one of the sources. The server then multicasts these requested sources to the requesting clients, respectively. If none of the clients is requesting a particular source, the server does not multicast that particular source. If all of the clients cease requesting a particular source that the server is currently multicasting, the server terminates the multicast of that particular source.

L'invention concerne un serveur associé à plusieurs sources de contenu multimédia, qui comporte plusieurs clients. Le serveur établit si au moins un des clients demande à recevoir au moins une des sources, puis il assure la multidiffusion des sources demandées auprès des différents demandeurs, respectivement. Si aucun client ne demande une source particulière, le serveur n'assure pas la multidiffusion de cette source. Si tous les clients cessent de demander une source particulière dont le serveur est en train d'assurer la multidiffusion, le serveur met fin à la multidiffusion de ladite source.
