Abstract:
A method includes receiving a request for media content at a residential gateway from a device coupled to the residential gateway and sending a media content request to a server based on the request. The method includes receiving a video data stream of the media content at the residential gateway. Data packets of the video data stream enable generation of the media content at a first resolution. A first subset of the data packets include tags that enable identification of particular data packets usable to generate the media content at a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution. The method also includes determining a display characteristic of a display device coupled to the device and sending the particular data packets to the device when the display characteristic indicates that the device is to receive the media content at the second resolution.

Abstract:
A method includes, in response to determining that a transmission parameter of a communication received from a particular network device does not satisfy a bandwidth threshold indicated by a transmission rule, modifying the transmission parameter based on the transmission rule to produce a modified parameter. The particular network device is associated with a particular transmission rule that includes a particular data rate of network resources. The method includes applying the modified parameter to the communication.
