摘要： Accelerated channel change (ACC) strategies are described for supplying a client module with media information by transitioning between a first delivery of media information provided by first delivery functionality and a second delivery of media information provided by second delivery functionality without exceeding prescribed data rate limitations. The first delivery functionality can represent server-based functionality for delivering a unicast stream of media information at a data rate (or maximum data rate) of some excess amount over the nominal rate of delivery, starting at a selected location within the media information. The second delivery functionality can represent any functionality for delivering the media information at the data rate (or maximum data rate) of the nominal rate of delivery. A join interval separates the first delivery at the excess rate and the second delivery at the nominal rate. In that period, the first delivery functionality can provide media information at a join interval data rate. The join interval data rate, if it is below the nominal data rate, will cause the client module to miss packets of media information. The client module can receive these missing packets by issuing retry requests to the first delivery functionality or to some other entity. The client module can determine the excess amount available by investigating the amount of missing information that occurs at different data rates; or the excess amount can be defined in advance.

摘要： Strategies are described for performing retry analysis in an environment which involves the transmission of media information from a source module to a target module. In the context of the source module, the retry analysis determines whether the source module should satisfy the retry requests issued by the target module. In the context of the target module, the retry analysis determines whether the target module should generate the retry requests in the first place. Novel request reporting formats are also described. The target module performs analysis to determine what reporting format it should use to convey the retry requests to the source module.

摘要： Strategies are described for determining a configuration of information-transmission infrastructure. The information-transmission infrastructure includes a number of server modules for providing services to a collection of client modules. The configuration first involves determining whether a number of specified requirements can be satisfied using an input scaling equation. If so, the configuration proceeds by determining the number of server modules to deploy to satisfy the requirements using an output scaling equation, which determines the number m of server modules based on a linear transformation of the expected number of client modules. The configuration then involves assigning particular services to the server modules using either a probabilistic technique or a hash table technique. When deployed, all of the m server modules function as active sever modules (e.g., without the use of dedicated standby modules).
