A scalable video transmission scheme is provided in which client interaction and video content itself are taken into consideration during transmission. Methods and arrangements are provided to prioritize / classify different types of information according to their importance and to packetize or otherwise arrange the prioritized information in a manner such that lower priority information may be dropped during transmission. Thus, when network congestion occurs or there is not enough network bandwidth to transmit all of the prioritized information about an object, some (e.g., lower priority) information may be dropped at the server or at an intermediate network node to reduce the bit rate. Thus, when the server transmits multiple video objects over a channel of limited bandwidth capacity, the bit rate allocated to each object can be adjusted according to several factors, such as, e.g., information importance and client interaction.

A client node is communicatively coupled to a gateway node via a TCP / IP network. One or more constrained devices that include a wireless receiver / transmitter circuit communicate with the gateway node via a wireless network.

Each device entry in the list includes a URL that acts as an entry point for the client node to communicate with a web server in a corresponding constrained device. The gateway node automatically discovers a new device on the wireless network and populates the list of the one or more active constrained devices with the newly present constrained device. The new constrained device may be detected based on a periodic message sent by the constrained device indicating the constrained device has turned on its receiver / transmitter circuit for a period of time.

A given video segment is configured to include links to one or more other video segments or information sources.
