Abstract
Methods and systems for controlling the admission of media content into a network are disclosed. A method includes accessing a request for authorization to transfer media content where the request for authorization includes details of a request for media content made to a server of a plurality of servers. In addition, the method includes determining whether at least one of the plurality of servers will be authorized to accommodate the request for media content. A message is generated that is accessible by the server. An admission of media content by the server is coordinated with admissions of media content by the plurality of servers.
