Patent ID: 8645561

Claim:
A method for broadcasting time sensitive content over an Internet protocol (IP) network for distribution in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, comprising: segmenting the time sensitive content into a plurality of video segments, wherein each of the plurality of video segments is comprised of a plurality of bytes; separating each video segment of the plurality of video segments into a plurality of vectors, wherein each vector of the plurality of vectors is comprised of at least one byte of a video segment; generating random linear combination equations for each video segment by performing a random linear combination on a group of vectors of a respective video segment; interleaving equations of at least two different video segments of the plurality of video segments; and transmitting at least a portion of the equations over the IP network to at least one distribution node for the distribution of the time sensitive content in the P2P network, wherein the time sensitive content is recreated from the equations of at least the distribution node.
