Abstract

A distributed streaming internet server system with multiple layers of servers, featuring data caching, file storage, and application servers. The system provides high reliability and high quality streaming media. The system is designed to be scalable so that additional capacity can be added easily as needed. Existing capacity use is optimized through reallocating user connections as necessary for load-balancing and failure management.
