Abstract:
The disclosed configuration includes a partial pre-fetching of source files from an origin server for playback. After pre-fetch, the remaining portions of a source file may be optimized for retrieval. By providing partial pre-fetch of source files, in conjunction with optimization, automatic video preview may be supported and source file presentation may begin in a timely fashion in response to user requested playback without inordinate bandwidth consumption.
Abstract:
A system and a method are disclosed for selectively monitoring traffic in a service provider network. The system receives a notice for a beginning of a network data flow, which responds to a request from a user device for content at an origin server. The system then determines whether to monitor the data flow from the origin server to the user device. If so determined, the system collects statistic information of the data flow and stores the statistic information to a flow record in a database. The system also maps the flow record to a subscriber of the service provider network by analyzing the statistic information of the data flow and estimates bandwidth provided to the data flow by the service provider's network based on the analysis of the statistic information of the data flow.

Abstract:
A flow analyzer analyzes data consumption of flows associated with a user device of a user. The flow analyzer determines, for a given flow associated with the user device, whether to generate a notification alerting the user about data consumption on the network associated with the given flow. For example, if the given flow contains a large object requiring an inordinate amount of data consumption or contains many smaller objects that in the aggregate require an inordinate amount of data consumption to provide the flow to the user device, the flow analyzer may generate a notification including information alerting the user to the size of the flow or object. Thus, the user may elect whether to continue a flow that may significantly impact their data allowance prior to incurring the costs.
