Abstract

The media server may support discovery of media content in a local DLNA network, media content fulfillment from a service provider network, and content delivery for a device on the DLNA network. The media server may further route regional traffic to the DLNA network from a media source such as a video on demand (VOD) server or an Internet media server.
