Abstract:
At a network device through which client devices communicate with a network, a database is created that maps Internet Protocol (IP) addresses each to a respective trust metric for a domain name associated with the IP address. An IP packet sent from a client device to the network and that indicates a destination IP address for a network-accessible resource associated with a domain name is intercepted. Using the destination IP address in the intercepted IP packet, the domain name trust metric mapped to the destination IP address is retrieved from the database. IP packets received from the destination IP address are processed based on the retrieved domain name trust metric and a predetermined trust metric criterion.
Abstract:
A system includes a media optimizer that adaptively generates and transmits a modified manifest file based on an original manifest file corresponding to an associated media asset from a content provider in response to a media content request from a client for the associated media asset. The original manifest file specifies bitrates. The media optimizer extracts parameters associated with the media content request and applies bitrate policies based on the extracted parameters to adaptively modify the original manifest file to generate the modified manifest file. The media optimizer is further configured to transmit the modified manifest file to the client for selection by the client of a bitrate associated with delivery of the associated media asset.
