ABSTRACT:
A presentation is divided into different components. For example, a multimedia presentation may have an audio component and a video component. Each component is assigned a different network address for transmission of the presentation over the network by a server. Each receiver selects those components it wishes to play by selecting the appropriate network addresses. The presentation data is routed through the network based on the selections made by the various receivers. If, for example, one or more receivers are part of a local area network (LAN) separated from the server by a wide area network (WAN) link, and if none of those remote receivers has selected one or more of the presentation components, then the routers will not transmit data for those unselected components to the remote LAN. As a result, WAN link transmission bandwidth is preserved for desired data. In addition, the remote receivers do not have to expend processor time to examine and discard unwanted data.
