ABSTRACT:
Server-side stream switching is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a server and a client. The server is capable of sending data within a first and a second stream via packets with a predetermined data designator, and of indicating switching from the first to the second stream via a packet with a predetermined switching designator. The client is capable of receiving the packets containing the data within the first and the second streams, and the packet with the predetermined switching designator. HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) server-side stream switching is particularly disclosed.
