Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods of monitoring packet delivery are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes querying multiple network devices for performance metrics corresponding to video data packets sent from a video server. The network devices may include multicast branching points between the video server and the destination. A delivery failure may be identified based on the performance metrics, and a response to the delivery failure may be initiated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving first data from an internet protocol television system at a performance server, wherein the first data is associated with requests received by a video server for retransmission of particular multicast video data packets, wherein the first data denotes a trend based on performance data associated with the particular multicast video data packets, and wherein the first data indicates a potential network failure; in response to t…
