Abstract

Multiple content consumers are serviced from a single content source on the basis of an examination of a description of the content requested by the content consumers. That is, a proxy communicatively coupled to the content consumers is configured to examine the requests for content made by the consumers and to determine (e.g., on the basis of meta information associated with the content and/or the content requests, whether live or prerecorded streaming content has been requested. If live content has been requested, the proxy is further configured to dynamically reflect (in a protocol independent fashion) any existing streams that include such content to those of the content consumers that are requesting such content. If prerecorded content is being requested, the proxy is configured to play back a stored version thereof, if available, or to open a connection to the content source for such playback if no stored version of the content is available. In some cases, playbacks of live or stored content from the content source may involve data seaming of multiple connections between the proxy and the content source.
