Abstract
A IP video delivery system () includes a multiplexer () for transmitting multiple data streams of packets over link () to a site having one or more receivers (). During times of congestion, the multiplexer will discard packets from its internal queues. Packets are intelligently chosen to minimize the effects on the output from the receivers () by taking into account timing information related to the packets and priority.
