摘要：The invention is a system for distributing content data over a computer networkand a method of arranging receiver nodes in a computer network such that the capacityof the server is effectively multiplied many times over, and may even be increasedexponentially. The invention takes advantage of the excess capacity many receiver nodespossess, and uses them as repeaters. The distribution system includes nodes havingdatabases which indicate their ancestors and descendants so that reconfiguration of thedistribution network may be accomplished without burdening the system's primary sever.The invention includes a process for configuring a computer information distributionnetwork having a primary server node and user nodes docked in a cascaded relationship,and reconfiguring the network in the event that a user node departs from it. The processincludes the steps of providing a new user node (or connection requesting user node)with a connection address list of nodes within the network, having the new user node (orconnection requesting user node) go to the node at the top of the connection addresslist, determine whether that node is still part of the distribution network, and connectthereto if it is, and if it is not, to go to the next node on the connection address list. Whena user node departs from the distribution network, a propagation signal is transmitted tothe nodes below it in the network, causing them to move up in the network in apredetermined order.
