摘要： A method for preparing media content to be streamed to a client divides a stream of the media content at the server into multiple media segments. Each of the multiple media segments is to be stored as an individual file in a memory in a transfer protocol compliant format. A top-level manifest file is generated, which has a plurality of Universal Resource Locators (URLs). The plurality of URLs indicates an ordering of the multiple media segments to recreate the stream of media content. Responsive to a client request received over a network to present the media content in a trick play mode of operation, a modified manifest file is obtained based on the top-level manifest file. The modified manifest file includes a subset of the plurality of URLs indicating an ordering of media segments that create a representation of the stream of media content presentable in the trick play mode of operation.

摘要： A method of estimating a topology of a network in which an estimated geographic path of cables of a network between a geographic location of a network component and a geographic location of a terminal network element is automatically generated from data providing the geographic location of the network component and the geographic location of the terminal network element. If the estimated geographic path includes an intersection of separate branches of the path located a predetermined distance from the network component in a downstream direction extending from the network component to the terminal network element, the estimated geographic path is automatically adjusted by replacing the intersection in the estimated geographic path with separate non-intersecting paths extending from different outlet ports of the network component to the separate branches.

摘要： A method of estimating a location of a fault in a network including the detection of a status of nodes connected to a head end of the network via a trunk of the network as being in-service or out-of-service. A node is considered out-of-service when the head end loses communication with all terminal network devices associated with the node. In addition, a status of head end network components is monitored for faults occurring therein. The location of a fault is automatically estimated as being on the trunk of the network when the head end network components are without a monitored fault condition and when at least one node on the trunk is detected as being out-of-service.

摘要： A method of estimating a defect location within a network is provided. Information of pre-equalization coefficients of an adaptive pre-equalizer of a terminal network element on the network is received. A total amount of equalization applied by a negative delay portion of the adaptive pre-equalizer relative to a main tap level and a total amount of equalization applied by a positive delay portion of the adaptive pre-equalizer relative to the main tap level is determined. The terminal network element is determined as being affected by a defect if at least one of the total amount of equalization applied by the negative or positive delay portions relative to the main tap level is at an unacceptable level. If a defect is identified, a location of the defect is estimated differently depending upon whether the negative or positive delay portion of the adaptive pre-equalizer applies the greatest amount of equalization.

摘要： Buffer bloat continues to cause latency problems for all kinds of network traffic, e.g., internet protocol traffic. Implementing network based control of packet upstream packet discards enables a scheduler of packets to manage congestion, instead of the network element with bloat. In embodiments, a cable modem termination system may schedule delivery of packets and, after receiving the scheduled packets, discarding packets. The cable modem termination system may determine when to discard a packet based on a detected backlog of data in a cable modem upstream flow queue. For example, a late discard of such packets may be based on information in a schedule request received from the network element.

摘要翻译： 缓冲区膨胀继续导致各种网络流量的延迟问题，例如互联网协议流量。 实现对分组上行分组丢弃的基于网络的控制使分组的调度器可以管理拥塞，而不是具有膨胀的网络元素。 在实施例中，电缆调制解调器终端系统可以调度分组的传送，并且在接收到调度的分组之后，丢弃分组。 电缆调制解调器终端系统可以基于在电缆调制解调器上行流队列中检测到的积压的数据来确定何时丢弃分组。 例如，这种分组的后期丢弃可以基于从网络单元接收的调度请求中的信息。
