Abstract:
1. A method for storing and forwarding media data, comprising: an intermediate node receiving a first media data packet transmitted from a source node using a first session established between the source node and the intermediate node, the media data packet comprising a media data payload portion containing payload data and a first header comprising a first header field storing a first header value and a second header field storing a second header value; the intermediate node obtaining an offset value; the intermediate node sending the offset value to a client node; the intermediate node calculating a third header value using said second header value and said offset value, wherein said offset value equals a difference between the second header value and said third header value; the intermediate node creating a second media data packet comprising a media data payload portion containing said payload data and a second header, the second header comprising a first header field storing said first header value and a second header field storing said third header value; the intermediate node sending the second mead data packet to the client node using a second session established between the intermediate node and the client node, wherein the second session is separate and distinct from the first session.
