Abstract:
1. A method for guaranteed delivery of data from an origin to multiple destinations, the method comprising: receiving the data from said origin to a network only once at a speed of link connecting said origin to said network, without waiting for said destinations to be connected to said network, wherein the data is sent by said origin in a specific format and sequence; delivering the data from said network to one or more said destinations at a speed of link connecting said destination to said network, thereby creating a point-to-multipoint connection between said network and said destinations, wherein the data is delivered to said destinations in said specific format and sequence; receiving a request from a disconnected destination of said destinations to connect to said network and to receive the data in said specific format and sequence sent by said origin, wherein a part of the data has already been sent from said origin to said network; connecting to said requesting destination through said network upon said request on an existing said point-to-multipoint connection; and delivering to said requesting destination said part of the data in said specific format and sequence sent by said origin.
