Abstract
Methods and systems for maximum bandwidth broadcast-like streams, including a plurality of assembling devices; each assembling device retrieves, approximately simultaneously, erasure-coded fragments from a plurality of fractional-storage CDN servers, whereby the broadcast-like streaming contents are reconstructed from the fragments, and wherein different mixtures of broadcast-like streaming contents can be retrieved by the assembling devices until the aggregated bandwidth used by the assembling devices to retrieve the fragments approaches the aggregated fragment delivery bandwidth capabilities of the servers.
