An object of the present disclosure is to distribute content with a high quality and low latency without being limited by a low-rate and unstable network and a low-capacity reception-side edge servers while maintaining sufficient traffic reduction effects. A content distribution system according to the present disclosure converts part of communication for distribution into multicast communication. In the content distribution system, a transmission-side edge server (UC/MC) generates and transmits a plurality of multicast streams having different transfer rates for the same input content, and a reception-side edge server (MC/UC) selects and receives a multicast stream having a desired transfer rate among the plurality of transmitted multicast streams.
A content distribution system for converting part of communication for distribution into multicast communication, the content distribution system comprising:
A content distribution method performed by a content distribution system for converting part of communication for distribution into multicast communication,
An edge server apparatus included in a content distribution system for converting part of communication for distribution into multicast communication,
