Abstract
A system and method for providing improved session control in unicast sessions such as FLUTE sessions. According to various embodiments, a series of new commands are defined that permit a receiver to perform actions such as request a list of files to be delivered, trigger the delivery of selected files, ask that certain files not be delivered, and others. As a result, the bandwidth usage between the sender and the receiver can be reduced, and the data flow between the devices can be optimized.
