Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: routing, by a network device comprising a processor, streamed content over a first routing path towards a first radio network controller for delivery to a first base station that delivers the streamed content to a first mobile communication device, wherein the streamed content includes video content; adjusting, by the network device, the first routing path to generate a second routing path, that includes a support node, for routing the streamed content to a second radio network controller for delivery to a second mobile communication device via a second base station while continuing to route the streamed content to the first radio network controller via the support node, wherein the routing of the streamed content to the second radio network controller is performed without providing a routing adjustment notification to equipment of a gateway node or to a mobile broadcast service center that initiated the streamed content; receiving, by the network device from the equipment of the gateway node, the streamed content; and adjusting, by the network device, a group of channel bundles according to channel bundle changes initiated by the mobile broadcast service center to satisfy user content requests, wherein routing information is added to a channel bundle, and wherein the routing information indicates that the streamed content is being delivered to the first radio network controller via the support node positioned in a network between the first radio network controller and the equipment of the gateway node.
