Alternative scenarios are presented, together with details on implementation and discussion on the pros and cons, in terms of implementation complexity, traffic overhead and provided functionality. The solutions have been developed and are currently under evaluation in the context of My-e-Director 2012, an FP7 European funded project in the area of Networked Media.
