Abstract

A server offloads one or more tasks to a first media gateway. The server receives, from the first media gateway that is receiving a video stream of a television channel, a first message that indicates that the first media gateway is eligible to process a request for media content of the television channel that otherwise would be processed by the server. The server receives, from a second media gateway, a request for media content of the television channel. The server transmits, to the second media gateway, a redirection response that instructs the second media gateway to request the media content from the first media gateway.
