A system for broadcasting enhanced television content may provide for
early notification of web hosting facilities when uniform resource
locators may be broadcast with television content. When uniform resource
locators are broadcast with television content, a large number of users
may attempt to simultaneously access the hosting web site for the uniform
resource locator. By providing early warning through the television
broadcast system, the web servers which handle the load of attempted web
accesses may gear up for the load spike. Through an automatic system, a
relatively failsafe procedure may be implemented to ensure that the web
hosting facilities receive notice sufficient to enable them to prepare
for the onslaught of attempted accesses.
