摘要： A wire protocol provides message formats for creating multiple network connections between a media server and a client. These multiple network connections may include a control link connection for passing control information and a data funnel connection for passing data of multiple media. The data funnel connection may be a multipoint-to-point connection that connects multiple data servers with the client. The protocol facilitates multiple requests being concurrently outstanding and asynchronous processing of requests. The protocol is designed to exist on top of a transport protocol layer.

摘要： A scalable method and system for easily scheduling data transfer for a video-on-demand server system is provided. A strategy for locating available bandwidth and allocating available bandwidth to subscribers as needed is provided. The input/output bandwidth of storage devices that store data for video image sequences is modelled as a series of bandwidth units. Each bandwidth unit has sufficient capacity to service an individual subscriber during a scheduling cycle. Video image sequences or other data sequences are striped across storage devices such that data for a data sequence is forwarded to the subscriber by reading from a sequence of storage devices in consecutive time frames.

摘要： An ATM switch is used to combine blocks of data from multiple data servers into a single continuous data stream. The ATM switch is especially well adapted for use in a video-on-demand environment. Blocks of data may be striped across the data servers so that they are output from respective data servers in sequence. Transmission of data from the data servers to the ATM switch is scheduled so that the blocks of data are output in sequence without undue delay between the transmission of blocks of data from the servers. Synchronizing tokens are provided to the data servers to specify that they are to output data of a given sequence and to direct the sequence to a given virtual channel. As a result, the system of this invention appears to output single continuous data streams from the output ports of the ATM switch.
