Alternative HTTP-level Streaming Playout Sample Clauses

Alternative HTTP-level Streaming Playout. Narrative This use case is about a group of users separated in space, streaming the same content at roughly the same time using an HTTP-based video on demand application. Based on a reduction in system performance (e.g., bottleneck in the core network path to the streaming service), the service is replicated for a set of users that have the same point of attachment. This results in a recovery of user experience for all affected users transparently to their end devices and the source of the service itself. Stakeholders  Media service provider allowing to replicate the entire service playout point including the content at a different location.  Platform provider enabling the instantiation of the new surrogate and the transparent switch to the new playout point.  Infrastructure provider that have virtual computing and storage facilities in close proximity to the group of users who have suffered from a service degradation.
