Abstract:
A system and method is provided for determining a client device identity. In one implementation, a method is provided that can include receiving a request from a client device. The method can also include determining, based on the client device request, a subscriber identification. After determining the subscriber identification, the method can include acquiring, from a transactional history database, transactional device data associated with the subscriber identification. In some embodiments, the transactional device data can include one or more counts associated with one or more device types. The method can also include determining, based on the transactional device data, the client device identity. In some embodiments, the determination of the client device identity can include selecting a device type of the one or more device types with the maximum count and setting the client device identity to the selected device type.
Abstract:
A network environment includes a client station coupled to a proxy server via a first network and one or more content servers coupled to the proxy server via a second network. A plurality of connections are established between the client station and the proxy server over the first network. Requests are dynamically interleaved over any of the connections to the proxy server by the client station. Content is retrieved for the requests from any of the content servers over the second network by the proxy server. Responses including retrieved content for respective requests are dynamically interleaved over any of the connections by the proxy server to the client station.
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for controlling multimedia data transmission to a communication device via a network. The system comprises a de-muxer configured to obtain a first multimedia data for transmission and a flow controller configured to evaluate an estimated buffer time associated with the communication device. If the estimated buffer time satisfies a first threshold condition, the flow controller updates a current transmitting state to be a pacing state. And if the estimated buffer time satisfies a second threshold condition, the flow controller updates the current transmitting state to be a bursting state. The system also comprises a muxer configured to transmit the first multimedia data at a transmitting rate corresponding to the bursting state or the pacing state.

Abstract:
A cache server includes a memory, and a processor to acquire segments of media data associated with a first request, with the first request being generated by a client device. The segments associated with the first request are stored in the memory. Keys for the segments associated with the first request are generated, with each segment having a respective key associated therewith that is a unique identifier for that segment.
Abstract:
A cache server, a method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a memory and one or more processors configured to acquire one or more segments of media data associated with a first request, the first request being generated by one or more client devices, store the one or more segments associated with the first request, generate a key for each segment of the one or more segments associated with the first request, and generate a first set entry and a first set key for the one or more segments associated with the first request.
