    Abstract: An exemplary data router may receive from a client device a request to access a multicast packet stream corresponding to a media content channel. The data router may access the multicast packet stream, which may include a plurality of bit rate profiles each including a plurality of data packets representing a component of the media content channel transferred at a particular bit rate. The data router may filter out data packets included within bit rate profiles that have data transferred at a bit rate that is not a preferred or requested bit rate by the client device. The data router may also replace a multicast destination address with a device destination address in the data packets that are not filtered out. The data router may then route the modified multicast packet stream to the client device at the device destination address. Corresponding systems and methods are also described.

    Abstract: A CPE device may include a plurality of CPE modules implemented in hardware. The plurality of CPE modules may include a first module and a second module. The first module and the second module may be arrangeable in a stacked configuration. The first module may include a first interconnection interface component disposed on a top surface of the first module. The second module may include a second interconnection interface component disposed on a bottom surface of the second module. The second interconnection interface component may be configured to complementarily couple to the first interconnection interface component when the first module and the second module are arranged in the stacked configuration.
