Abstract
Example systems and methods of content sharing via multiple content distribution servers are presented. In one example, a media content stream is received at a first distribution server from a source device via a communication network. The received media content is transmitted from the first distribution server to a plurality of destination devices via the communication network. A traffic condition regarding the transmitting of the received media content stream is detected. An indication of the traffic condition is transmitted to a traffic management device. An instruction to assign at least one other distribution server to additional destination devices is received from the traffic management device in response to the indication of the traffic condition. In response to the instruction, the received media content stream is transmitted from the first distribution server to the at least one other distribution server for distribution to the additional destination devices.
