Systems and methods for transmitting data in real time

At least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein, when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

• facilitate forming a plurality of transmission control protocol (TCP) connections with a client;
• receive one or more requests from the client via the plurality of TCP connections, wherein at least one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request to receive data in real time;
• separate the real-time data into a succession of data sets;
• associate the succession of data sets to the plurality of TCP connections such that each of the succession of data sets is associated with a separate TCP connection of the plurality of TCP connections;
• and
• transmit each of the succession of data sets to the client via the associated separate TCP connections.

A method for transmitting data in real time, said method comprising:

• facilitating the formation of a plurality of transmission control protocol (TCP) connections with a client;
• receiving one or more requests from the client via the plurality of TCP connections, wherein at least one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request to receive data in real time;
• separating the real-time data into a succession of data sets;
• associating the succession of data sets to the plurality of TCP connections such that each of the succession of data sets is associated with a separate TCP connection of the plurality of TCP connections;
• and
• transmitting each of the succession of data sets to the client via the associated separate TCP connections.

A system comprising:

• a client in communication with a server via a plurality of transmission control protocol (TCP) connections, wherein said client is configured to:
• transmit one or more requests to the server via the plurality of TCP connections, wherein at least one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request to receive data in real time;
• receive a succession of data sets that correspond to the real-time data from the server via the plurality of TCP connections, wherein each of the succession of data sets is associated with a separate TCP connection of the plurality of TCP connections such that each of the succession of data sets is received via the associated separate TCP connection;
• identify which of the received succession of data sets is received later than a predefined period of time;
• and
• discard each of the identified data sets.
