Fast startup for streaming media includes one or both of a technique for predictive start and a technique for switching delivery channel(s) during streaming. predictive start allows a media content source to predict which media stream(s) are desired by the requesting client device and begin streaming those predicted media stream(s) to the client device. The delivery channel switching technique allows the media content source to begin streaming the media stream(s) using one delivery channel (e.g., using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)), and then check whether another delivery channel (e.g., using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP)) will work and switch to that other delivery channel if it will work.

La présente invention concerne un démarrage rapide pour un support médiatique diffusé en continu qui implique une technique de démarrage prédictif et/ou une technique de commutation de canal/canaux de distribution lors de la diffusion en continu. Le démarrage prédictif permet à une source de contenu médiatique de prédire quel(s) flux continu(s) de données médiatiques le dispositif client souhaite et de commencer la diffusion en continu des flux continu(s) de données médiatiques prédits auprès du dispositif client. La technique de commutation de canal de distribution permet à une source de contenu médiatique de commencer la diffusion en continu des flux continu(s) de données médiatiques en utilisant un canal de distribution (par exemple en utilisant le protocole de contrôle de transmission (TCP)), puis de vérifier si un autre canal de distribution (par exemple en utilisant le protocole de datagramme utilisateur (UDP)) va fonctionner et, si tel est le cas, il effectue la commutation à cet autre canal de distribution.
