Abstract:
1. A system for providing multicast transmission of real time data content over a network between a server on the server side and a plurality of clients on the client side, comprising: a server on the server side that operates a server process and including a client emulator operating a client emulator process, said server process providing unicast form communication data and said client emulator process converting said unicast form data into multicast datagram communication form for the plurality of clients; a server emulator on the client side having a server emulator process; a unidirectional communication network allowing data from said client emulator process on the server side to said server emulator process on the client side to supply said multicast form datagram to said client side server emulator process which extracts the original unicast form data from said multicast form datagram; and each said client including and operating a client process that is in communication with and receives the extracted unicast form data from said client side server emulator process.
