A method of providing live adaptive bitrate (ABR) video to a premises includes receiving live ABR transport stream based content for a channel from a content server; encapsulating transport stream (TS) packets for the content in RTP packets to form RTP content packets; encapsulating in RTP packets an aggregate manifest for a plurality of ABR streams for the content to form RTP manifest packets; multiplexing the RTP content packets and the RTP manifest packets; and transmitting the multiplexed RTP packets as a multicast stream.
