Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems of parallel encoding and publishing media content in a plurality of encoded formats. One exemplary embodiment includes the steps of receiving at least a first portion of a first content stream; communicating the first portion of the stream to a plurality of encoders including a first through Nth encoder, operating said first through Nth encoders in parallel to perform different encoding operations in real time to generate first through Nth encoded versions of said first portion of content; monitoring the encoding status of each of the first through Nth encoders; determining when at least the first through Nth encoders are done processing the first portion of the stream, and publishing, in response to determining that the first through Nth encoders are done processing the first portion of the stream, at the same time, the successfully encoded versions of the first portion of the stream.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs, providing resilient SCTP stack operation. One method includes having a master and slave for a gateway, the master checkpointing key protocol state, including: for transmissions over an SCTP connection from an application to a peer, checkpointing the message payload when a message is received from the application and before it is pushed to the SCTP protocol; after transmitting data to the peer, checkpointing a stream ID, stream sequence number, and transmission sequence number (TSN) of each chunk; and on receiving a selective acknowledgement (SACK) that a chunk was received, deleting the chunk and checkpointing this deletion; and for receptions of data: on receiving a chunk from the peer, checkpointing a message payload, stream ID, stream sequence number, and TSN before sending a SACK; and upon delivery of a message to the application, deleting the message from the SCTP stack and checkpointing the deletion.
