Abstract
Access to transactional multimedia content may be based on network routing. Some multimedia content may be best delivered via a private network. Other multimedia content may be best delivered via a public network. A type of the multimedia content may thus determine network routing.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a server, a request from a device, the request specifying a content;
- determining, by the server, whether the content is a live video or a video on demand;
- in response to the content being a live video, determining, by the server, a routing path to the device;
- in response to the content being a video on demand, determining, by the server, a different routing path to the device;
- and
- sending, by the server, the content to the device via one of the routing path or the different routing path based on whether the content is a live video or a video on demand.
