Abstract

A method for managing data streams for similar content on multiple client devices includes receiving a new request for content from a server provider. In response to determining there is an existing request associated with an existing data stream for the content from the server provider, the method includes blocking the new request. The method also includes receiving the existing data stream from the service provider for the content via an external network and performing a stream computation for the existing data stream to provide a first data stream for the existing request for the content and a second data stream for the new request for the content. The method also includes sending the first data stream for the existing request for the content to a first client device and the second data stream for the new request for the content to a second client device, via a local network.
