A method for the distribution of the real time data flow over a multimedia network, as well as switching device and multimedia network

摘要

The invention relates to a method of distributing real time data streams across a multimedia network (MMN) to receiving terminals (STB), wherein a selected real time data stream is transmitted from a media server (MS) to a specific receiving terminal (STB), wherein a mediation device (MD) is located between said media server (MS) and the receiving terminals (STB), that a bi-directional communication with said media server (MS) is terminated at said media server (MS) for receiving data streams destined for the selected terminal (STB) and that said data streams are further forwarded to said selected terminal (STB) by means of a uni-directional communication protocol, and also a mediation device and a multimedia network therefore.
