7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the succession of data sets includes a plurality of frames.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein said server is further configured to:

facilitate forming one or more control channels with the client; and

transmit informational data regarding the real-time data to the client via the one or more control channels.

9. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein, when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

facilitate forming a plurality of transmission control protocol (TCP) connections with a client;

receive one or more requests from the client via the plurality of TCP connections, wherein at least one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request to receive data in real time;

separate the real-time data into a succession of data sets based on the order in which frames of the real-time data are received by placing a first predetermined number of received frames into a first data set and each consequent predetermined number of received frames into a corresponding consequent data set;

associate the succession of data sets to the plurality of TCP connections such that each of the succession of data sets is associated with a separate TCP connection of the plurality of TCP connections; and

transmit each of the succession of data sets to the client via the associated separate TCP connections.

10. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to transmit each of the succession of data sets to the client in a sequence via the associated separate TCP connections.

11. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to receive the real-time data from a computing device.

12. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request for video data in real time.

13. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request for audio data in real time.

14. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the succession of data sets includes a plurality of frames.

15. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to:

facilitate forming one or more control channels with the client; and

transmit informational data regarding the real-time data to the client via the one or more control channels.

16. A method for transmitting data in real time, said method comprising:

facilitating the formation of a plurality of transmission control protocol (TCP) connections with a client;

receiving one or more requests from the client via the plurality of TCP connections, wherein at least one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request to receive data in real time;

separating the real-time data into a succession of data sets based on the order in which frames of the real-time data are received by placing a first predetermined number of received frames into a first data set and each consequent predetermined number of received frames into a corresponding consequent data set;

associating the succession of data sets to the plurality of TCP connections such that each of the succession of data sets is associated with a separate TCP connection of the plurality of TCP connections; and

transmitting each of the succession of data sets to the client via the associated separate TCP connections.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein transmitting each of the succession of data sets comprises transmitting each of the succession of data sets to the client in a sequence via the associated separate TCP connections.

18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising receiving the real-time data from a computing device.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein receiving one or more requests from the client comprises receiving one or more requests from the client via the plurality of connections such that at least one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request for video data in real time.

20. The method of claim 16 , wherein receiving one or more requests from the client comprises receiving one or more requests from the client via the plurality of connections such that at least one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request for audio data in real time.

21. A system comprising:

a client in communication with a server via a plurality of transmission control protocol (TCP) connections, wherein said client is configured to:

transmit one or more requests to the server via the plurality of TCP connections, wherein at least one of the one or more requests corresponds to a request to receive data in real time;

receive a succession of data sets that correspond to the real-time data from the server via the plurality of TCP connections, wherein the real-time data is separated into the succession of data sets based on the order of frames in the real-time data such that a first predetermined number of frames are placed into a first data set and each consequent predetermined number of frames are placed in a corresponding consequent data set, wherein each of the succession of data sets is associated with a separate TCP connection of the plurality of TCP connections such that each of the succession of data sets is received via the associated separate TCP connection;

identify which of the received succession of data sets is received later than a predefined period of time; and
