A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a local resource manager server that receives a request to distribute media content, and provides signaling information to a global resource manager server. The global resource manager server can determine a media configuration of a network element based on the signaling information and a media capability of a recipient media processor. The signaling information can be provided to the local resource manager server to enable an initiating media processor to present the media content at the recipient media processor over a virtual private network.
摘要:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, presenting a plurality of unassociated media programs from a single presentation device having overlapping presentation periods, receiving information from a viewing apparatus to adjust an intensity of emitted light associated with one of the unassociated media programs, and adjusting the intensity of the emitted light in a manner that is detectable by the viewing apparatus supplying the information. Other embodiments are disclosed and contemplated.
摘要:
Methods and systems for making a resource available are disclosed. In a particular method, identification information associated with a portable device within a particular coverage area is received. A resource associated with the portable device is determined based on the identification information. An authentication message identifying the resource to a device is sent. Access control information is received from the device. The access control information indicates that access to the resource should be enabled via a local network. The resource is made available via the local network.

Managing the bandwidth capacity of a network that includes a plurality of traffic destinations, a plurality of nodes, and a plurality of node-to-node links. For each of a plurality of traffic classes including at least a higher priority class and a lower priority class, an amount of traffic sent to each of the plurality of traffic destinations is determined. One or more nodes are disabled, or one or more node-to-node links are disabled. For each of the plurality of traffic classes, a corresponding traffic route to each of the plurality of traffic destinations and not including the one or more disabled nodes or disabled node-to-node links is determined. Bandwidth capacities for each of the corresponding traffic routes are determined to ascertain whether or not sufficient bandwidth capacity is available to route each of the plurality of traffic classes to each of the plurality of traffic destinations.
摘要:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a server having a controller to maintain a delivery session with a set top box for streaming of media content thereto where the media content is multiple content from a plurality of media sources, maintain retrieval sessions for each of the plurality of media sources where the controller switches between the retrieval sessions to obtain the media content while maintaining the delivery session, and temporarily store the media content in a buffer for the streaming to the set top box using the delivery session. Other embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
Forwarding packets using experimental bits to support service provider applications. An incoming packet is received. If the packet is associated with a service hosted by a service provider, the packet is forwarded using a packet marking associated with a predefined forwarding behavior applicable to the service hosted by the service provider. If the packet is not associated with a service hosted by the service provider, the packet is forwarded using a label marking associated with the packet.

摘要:
Methods and systems are provided for developing a capacity management plan from performance and topology information relating to the implementation of a network service in a data network. The data network includes a group of network management functions and a computer database for storing forecast reports which include performance and topology information for implementing the network service. A capacity management function is utilized to define a capacity model for the presentation of the data relating to the implementation of the network service, retrieve the data from the computer database, create a capacity plan based on the forecast reports to manage capacity for the network service, and periodically review the capacity plan at predetermined intervals to analyze the accuracy of the forecast reports and determine whether to update the capacity plan.
