1. A method comprising:
- receiving, in a device between a source and sink of video or audio data, a request to add an additional stream for audio or video data from source to sink;
storing, in the device, an input stream identifier and input port associated with the stream;
mapping the input stream identifier to an output stream identifier;
storing the output stream identifier and output port number; and
forwarding the request to add the stream towards the sink device.

21. An apparatus comprising:
-
a receiver; a transmitter; and a unit coupled to said receiver and transmitter to establish the apparatus in a topology including a source and sink of video or audio data, to receive a request from the source to add an additional stream for audio or video data from the source to the sink, to store an input stream identifier and input port associated with the stream, to map the input stream identifier to an output stream identifier, to store the output stream identifier and output port number and forward the request to add the stream. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
