    摘要: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes determining that a network storage module has resources for buffering data currently being sent to a local storage module; determining if the local storage module should enter into a power saving mode; and buffering the configurable amount of data at the network storage module while the local storage module is in the power saving mode. In more particular embodiments, the method includes communicating the configurable amount of data to the local storage module after it resumes a normal operating mode. In addition, the method may include communicating at least a portion of the configurable amount of data to the local storage module using a unicast protocol or a multicast protocol.

    摘要: In one embodiment, characteristics of a connection traversing a packet switching device is determined, which includes, but not limited to, determining a network port number and/or address of an established connection based on a signature of the connection. In one embodiment, a packet switching device receives and forwards packets of particular communication between a device and a remote node in a network. The packet switching device maintains information of the particular communication and identification data for use in subsequent identification of said particular communication. In response to receiving a communications information request specifying a signature related to said particular communications, the packet switching device prepares and sends a response, which typically includes matching the signature to said maintained identification data resulting in identification of said information including a characterization of said particular communications, and sending a reply including the characterization of said particular communications.

    摘要: Systems and methods of assembling an elementary stream from an encapsulated multimedia transport stream are disclosed. An exemplary method includes: receiving a command from a user mode video playback component; in response, processing layer-2 packets received through a network interface driver binding to assemble, into an MPEG elementary stream, multimedia transport packets encapsulated within; and supplying the stream to a decoder. The receiving and processing steps are performed in kernel mode. Also disclosed is an exemplary digital home communication terminal that includes a network interface, memory, and a processor. The processor executes code to: receive a command from a user mode video playback component; process layer-2 packets received through a network interface driver binding, in order to assemble into an MPEG elementary stream multimedia transport packets encapsulated within the received layer-2 packets; and supply the elementary stream to a decoder. The receive and process operations are performed in kernel mode.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing reverse signals from a plurality of DHCTs to a downstream modulator that is located in the headend facility. The present invention includes a single wire return device (SWRD) that receives RF modulated signals, dynamically determines the address of the associated modulator, and converts the signals into Ethernet signals. The Ethernet signals are subsequently provided to the headend facility via fiber cable.

    摘要: A method includes detecting a substitution signal at a set top box device. The method includes inserting an advertisement into a media stream in response to detecting the substitution signal and determining an advertising fee associated with insertion of the advertisement into the media stream. A first advertising fee is determined when the advertisement is a local advertisement for a provider of a product or service and is to be inserted at a first location in the media stream that follows a national advertisement for the product or service. The first advertising fee is higher than a second advertising fee that is associated with insertion of the local advertisement for the provider of the product or service at a second location in the media stream.
