A system and method for the optimized storage and retrieval of video data at distributed sites call for the deployment of "Smart Minor" sites (26, 28, 30) throughout a network (10) each of which, maintains a copy of certain data managed by the system. Every user (12, 16, 20) is assigned to a specific delivery site based on an analysis of network performance with respect to each of the available delivery sites. Generalized network performance data is collected and stored to facilitate the selection of additional delivery sites and to ensure the preservation of improved performance in comparison to traditional networks.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 20, 1997 and granted July 24, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 20, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 20, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
