Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for managing redundant signals are disclosed. At least one server receives a first signal stream with an identifier, the first signal stream having a first time associated with a first signal point. The at least one server receives a second signal stream with the identifier, the second signal stream having a second time associated with a second signal point, wherein the second time is after the first time. The at least one server compares the first time associated with the first signal stream with the second time associated with the second signal stream. The at least one server terminates transmission of the second signal stream and transmits the first signal stream when the comparison is determined to be within a time range tolerance. Both signal streams are transmitted when the comparison is determined not to be within a time range tolerance.
