  • receiving a criteria for selecting an entry server from the plurality of entry servers used to distribute a data stream generated at a user computing device into the distributed server network, wherein the received criteria is based on performance metrics for a network path between the user computing device and each of the entry servers;

    estimating performance metrics of different network paths between the user computing device and each of the entry servers, the performance metrics for each different network path is evaluated in accordance with the criteria, wherein estimating the performance metrics is based on a first geographic location information input by a user of the computing device and a second geographic location information based on an IP address of the computing device;

    selecting a primary entry server from the plurality of entry servers for distributing the data stream, wherein the selection is based on a comparison among the estimated performance metrics for each different network path; and

    instructing the user computing device to transmit the generated data stream to the selected primary entry server, wherein the primary entry server distributes the generated data stream into the distributed server network on behalf of the user computing device.
