Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Off-path admission control signaling in the presence of a network address translation (NAT) device may be provided. In response to a request for a content asset, a placeholder classifier may be created. The placeholder classifier may be used to allocate resources for providing the content asset to the client from a content server. The content server may communicate with the client, traversing the NAT device to identify a destination address and port for the client to which the content will be provided. The placeholder classifier may then be updated with the destination address and port.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for providing off-path admission control, the method comprising: receiving a request for a video on demand asset from a client device, wherein the client device is connected to a network using a network address translation (NAT) client; identifying a content server for the requested asset; creating a classifier for a flow of the requested asset, wherein creating the classifier comprises creating the classifier comprising a source address, a sour…
