Abstract:
In a client-server network, a system for transmitting data associated with an application program to a plurality of client nodes, comprising:a server node executing an application program in response to a request from a first client node to execute the application program; a first connection between the server node and the first client node established in response to the request, the first connection including a first protocol stack on the server node for directing communications between the application program and the first client node; a second connection between the server node and a second client node established in response to a request from the second client node to access the application program, the second connection including a second protocol stack on the server node associated with the first protocol stack; and a multiplexer in communication with each connection and the application program executing on the server node, wherein the multiplexer substantially simultaneously transmits application data associated with the application program to the first and second protocol stacks.
