In pull splitting, the link on the Web page lists the splitter and the
RealServer where the streamed file originates. When the splitter
gets a request for the live file, it opens a stream to the
RealServer, and the RealServer streams the file
to the splitter, which, in turn, streams it to the client. This method only
uses bandwidth when a client requests a split stream. In addition, the only
configuration steps are to make certain that both the RealServer
and the splitter have a splitter file system listed.
