In one embodiment, a method of serving media includes receiving a request to serve media content to an user equipment (110), and receiving caching information regarding the media content e.g., at a media controller (182) deployed in the content delivery network (180). The caching information includes information regarding whether the media content requested by the user equipment (110) is cacheable. A first media server (e.g., MX-A 124) is assigned from a hierarchical set of media servers (e.g., MX-A 124, MX-B 184, MX-C 194) to serve the user equipment 110 if the media content to be served is cacheable. The hierarchical set of media servers includes a plurality of first type of media servers deployed in a plurality of layer2 (L2) access networks. The userequipment (110) is coupled to the content delivery network (180) through a layer2 access network (120) of the plurality of L2 access networks.

In one embodiment, a method of serving media includes receiving a delivery log of traffic use after every first time interval for an user equipment 110. The user equipment 110 is part of a hot billing class of users. The traffic use comprises data usage by the user equipment 110 during communication with a media server (e.g., MX-A 124) in a layer2 access network 120. A user traffic information computed from the delivery log is transmitted to a billing center 191. A account status information is received from the billing center 191. The account status information is received if the user equipment 110 exceeds a user account metric. A session termination information based on the account status information is transmitted.

In one embodiment, a method of serving media includes receiving a request to serve a cacheable media content to a user equipment at a second media server deployed in a second layer access network. The request is received around when the user equipment is handed-off from a first layer node in a first layer access network to a second layer node in the second layer access network and when a streaming session of the cacheable media content to the user equipment from a first media server is terminated. The method further includes determining if the cacheable media content is stored in a cache of the second media server, and serving the cacheable media content from the cache of the second media server to the user equipment if the media content is stored in the cache of the second media server.

In one embodiment, a method of serving media includes receiving a request to serve a cacheable media content to a user equipment 110 at a second media server 1242 deployed in a second layer2 access network 1202. The request is received around when the user equipment 110 is handed-off from a first layer2 node 1221 in a first layer2 access network 1201 to a second layer2 node 1222 in the second layer2 access network 1202 and when a streaming session of the cacheable media content to the user equipment 110 from a first media server 1241 is terminated. The method further includes determining if the cacheable media content is stored in a cache of the second media server 1242, and serving the cacheable media content from the cache of the second media server 1242 to the user equipment 110 if the media content is stored in the cache of the second media server 1242.

In one embodiment, a method of serving media includes receiving user profiles from a layer3 node (e.g., GGSN 136) in an access network, and receiving a request to serve media content to a user equipment (110). The user profiles include information relating to user account and/or network characteristics of the user equipment (110). The method further includes using an user equipment information from the user profiles, assigning a first media server (e.g., MX-A 124) from a hierarchical set of media servers to serve the user equipment if the media content to be served is cacheable. The hierarchical set of media servers include a plurality of first type of media servers deployed in a plurality of layer2 (L2) access networks. The user equipment (110) is coupled to a content delivery network 180 through a layer2 access network (120) of the plurality of layer2 access networks.
