Abstract

A real-time audiovisual streaming system transmits audiovisual content over an internetwork from an audiovisual stream source to a plurality of invited viewers. The system includes an application monitor coupled to an internetwork to monitor performance of streaming servers that receive and broadcast an audiovisual stream over the internetwork, based on its monitoring of the streaming servers. The application monitor also monitors performance of control servers and selects a server based thereon to establish control with the audiovisual stream source and enable transmission of the stream from the source to a selected streaming server and to establish control of invited viewers for the broadcast of the audiovisual stream from a selected streaming server to an invited viewer.
