Abstract
A method for transmitting time-based media across a network. The method involves receiving a message including time-based media intended for a recipient using a globally addressable email address associated with the recipient. Once the email address is defined, the method involves initiating a first DNS lookup of the globally addressable email address associated with the recipient to determine if the recipient receives a near real-time communication service and to ascertain a delivery route to deliver the time-based media of the message to the recipient using a near real-time communication protocol. If the first lookup result is positive, the time-based media of the message is progressively and simultaneously transmitted to the recipient as the time-based media is being created using the ascertained delivery route and the near real-time communication protocol. If the first DNS lookup is negative, then a second DNS lookup is performed to determine if the email address receives an email service. If so, then the time-based media of the message is sent to the recipient in a file attached to an email. If both the first and second DNS lookups are negative, an error message indicating that the time-based media of the message is undeliverable is generated.
