Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (100) and method for directing a Streaming Client or SC (20) to an alternative Access Point or AP (30). The system (100) prevents any single AP (30) from experiencing excessive traffic load by directing the SCs (20) on the same streaming sources to a common AP (30). This is done such that multiple unicast streams from a similar source are converted into a single multicast stream or a least loaded AP (30) is selected to carry the stream if no common multicast channel is found within a Stream-Client-AP (SCAP) database (14). Through this method, each AP (30) carries lesser load, hence reducing overall system bandwidth consumption. Consequently, the overall system bandwidth efficiency is maximised and stream quality is improved. Figure 1
