Abstract: In one embodiment, a gateway includes a memory, and a processor to, in response to receiving a plurality of content requests, generate a plurality of network flows and flow buffers, each one content request of the plurality of content requests being served by one network flow of the plurality of network flows, and one flow buffer of the plurality of flow buffers, the one flow buffer being included in the memory, the plurality of network flows including a first flow and a second flow, the first flow serving one of the plurality of requests having a first priority level, the second flow serving one of the plurality of requests having a second priority level, the first priority level being higher than the second priority level, and run a network arbiter to give prioritize reading the first flow over reading the second flow when the first flow is non-idle.

Abstract: Techniques for efficiently initiating multicast data communications. Upon determining to initiate multicast network communications, embodiments determine that a first multicast group of a plurality of multicast groups is currently active. An Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Join network message for a second multicast group that is currently inactive is transmitted. Upon determining that the first multicast group is currently inactive, an IGMP Join network message is transmitted for the first multicast group of the plurality of multicast groups.
