Abstract
Techniques for transmitting a digital content stream through a network between a plurality of content servers and a content player. Network performance information for the plurality of content servers is retrieved. Embodiments then determine a mapping of the plurality of content servers to a plurality of portions of a content buffer on the content player, based on the retrieved network performance information. A request is transmitted to each of the plurality of content servers to transmit digital content associated with the corresponding portion of the content buffer.
