Abstract
A data stream optimization system is configured to optimize the transfer of data using a plurality of relay nodes acting as the network overlay between a plurality of sources and a plurality of data requesting entities. As each data stream sent from a source to the data requesting entity passes through an relay node, the relay node optimizes network conditions and constraints based upon an identifying “signature” and priority conveyed by the requestor. The system is capable of reprioritizing, rerouting, and modifying the transmission of data streams for the purpose of transfer optimization based upon dynamically changing requestor interest and priority over time.
