Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a communication session from each of a group of communication devices over a portion of a communication network resulting in a group of communication sessions. Each communication device of the group of communication devices is associated with a user. Further embodiments include determining each communication session comprises downloading of a group of short-form video content from a video content server over the portion of the communication network, and identifying a group of network traffic features associated with the group of communication sessions. Additional embodiments include providing first instructions to a network device based on the group of network traffic features. The network device adjusts a group of network resources according to the first instructions. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a communication device has initiated a first communication session with a video content server over a communication network, and identifying that the communication device is downloading short-form video content during the first communication session over a portion of the communication network. Further embodiments include determining a size and duration of pre-loaded short-form video content during the first communication session, and determining the communication device has initiated a second communication session with the video content server over the communication network. Additional embodiments include providing instructions to a network device according to the size and duration of the pre-loaded short-form video content to adjust network resources associated with the portion of the communication network. The network device adjusts the network resources associated with the portion of the communication network.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a communication device initiating a first communication session with a video content server, and determining the communication device is downloading video content during the first communication session from the video content server over a portion of a communication network resulting in first downloaded video content. Further embodiments include determining a video content service associated with the first downloaded video content, and identifying the first downloaded video content as short-form video content in response to determining a group of network traffic features associated with the first downloaded video content during the first communication session. Additional embodiments include providing first instructions to a network device to adjust a group of network resources associated with the portion of the communication network.
