Abstract

A method (400) and system for streaming media data to a fixed client (352) and/or a mobile client (308a). In one method embodiment, the present invention recites encoding media data to be streamed to a client into a first multiple description bitstream (stream 1) and into a second multiple description bitstream (stream 2). The present embodiment then recites distributing the first and second multiple description bitstreams to a plurality of servers (304a-304e) placed at intermediate nodes throughout a network such that a client is provided with access to the media data via a plurality of transmission paths (354, 358).
