Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for controlling quality of service (QoS) provided to user devices by, for example, requesting a portion of the user devices to temporarily and selectively downgrade a quality of service. A downgrade message may be sent to the user devices to request a downgrade, and may provide information to allow the user devices to determine whether they will abide by the requested downgrade.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for the generation of domain names that may be associated with a particular user device and may be encrypted to obfuscate the domain names of content requested by the user device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for managing delivery of content fragments to a device in response to a bandwidth determination. In one implementation of the disclosure, when a content player or device requests a content fragments, a local cache may determine a bandwidth or data rate related to transmission of a content fragment from a source to the cache, and send the fragment to the player at a rate corresponding to the determined bandwidth or data rate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing the storage and delivery of recorded content in a network digital video recorder (DVR) system are disclosed. A plurality of requests to record a program may be received, wherein the program may comprise a plurality of segments. A segment from the plurality of segments may be determined to be copied to a first storage. A copy of the segment may be received from a second storage and a plurality of copies of the segment may be created in the first storage from the copy of the segment received from the second storage. The quantity of the plurality of copies of the segment may be equal to the quantity of the plurality of requests to record the program.
