ABSTRACT:
Media Distribution within the Internet is done with the help of Application-Servers, Content-Servers and distributed Edge Servers where the clients are connected to Media Distribution Services. A computer system is provided comprising a client having a Web browser with a media player, a Web Application Server, content Edge Servers ES1to ES4and a Media Request Broker. After the client has selected a media for streaming, the Media Request Broker makes a determination concerning an appropriate Edge Server to perform the streaming operation. This determination is made based on an extension of the client's http request made by the Edge Server and passed from the Application Server to the Media Request Broker.
