Patent number: 9935871Abstract: According to some aspects as described herein, a user may purchase or otherwise be provided with an accelerated service for selected software applications, devices, and/or ports to experience a high level of communication. The accelerated service may be created, for example, by using a dedicated network data flow such that the user's customer premise equipment (CPE) network access device may put priority traffic in a different upstream data flow than the commonly shared flow, which may involve tagging the traffic upstream to the network with a priority indicator such as a flow identifier. Based on similar factors, the user may also control local priority of data received downstream from the network for distribution to one or more local devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Chris Bastian, Sam Chernak, Daniel Herscovici, Bryan Witkowski

Patent number: 9118496Abstract: A subscriber network architecture includes a packet processing node that communicates with a network backbone and with a plurality of access nodes. The access nodes also communicate with a plurality of subscriber devices. The packet processing node controls Quality of Service (QoS) levels for the subscriber devices, routes user data to subscriber devices based on downstream communication channels of the access nodes and QoS levels, and receives data from subscriber devices (via the access nodes) for forwarding across the network backbone.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2011Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Jorge Daniel Salinger, Sam Chernak, Chris Bastian, David Urban, Vik Saxena
