Scalability is addressed by providing multiple redundant stream sources. One solution to the data continuity problem is adaptive client migration. Adaptive client migration is the ability of a client to switch from one redundant stream source to an­ other when it experiences discontinuities in its current stream. The switching mechanism allows the service providers to adapt to changing server loads and varying jitter due to net­work congestion. This thesis presents an adaptive client migration protocol that allows a client to migrate from one data stream to another without introducing discontinuities.65 pagesAvailable to the World Wide WebThesis
