Abstract: A master network interface device (M-NID) receives, from a network management system (NMS) via a first peer-to-peer (P2P) transport channel, first data destined for a first client network interface device (C-NID), where the first data is associated with network management functions. The M-NID further receives, from the NMS via the first P2P transport channel, second data destined for a second C-NID, where the second data is associated with network management functions. The M-NID forwards the first data from the M-NID to the destination first C-NID via a second P2P transport channel that is different than the first P2P transport channel. The M-NID also forwards the second data from the M-NID to the destination second C-NID via a third P2P transport channel that is different than the first P2P transport channel.

Abstract: Methods and systems for creating and retrieving scalable media files using a chunking model. A plurality of network abstraction layer (NAL) units representing a scalable media presentation are grouped into a plurality of video chunks wherein each chunk represents only the NAL units of one layer and a specific time period. The plurality of video chunks are then stored in one or more scalable media files along with indexing information which provides information for retrieving the NAL units from each video chunk. In this manner, a client can request only the video chunks (and thus NAL units) that it needs or wants to achieve a specific bandwidth.

Abstract: A configurable system brings Internet services, designed for PCs, to consumer electronics (CE) devices, and allows using external services such as Internet Services on CE devices. This reduces the need for input devices such as keyboards and mice, thereby making the configurable system suitable for CE devices.

Abstract: A server downloads a code image to remote devices so that the remote devices are performing properly in accordance with an updated version of the code image. The server may include an application server that targets devices and informs the targeted devices about a multicasting session. The targeted devices subsequently join the multicast session supported by a multicasting server and extract the code image from the multicast session. After the multicast session has been completed, the downloading center polls the targeted devices to determine which devices have successfully downloaded the code image. The server may repeat the download to devices that did not successfully download the code image by subsequently scheduling a subsequent multicasting session or by individually sending the code image to the devices. Portions of the code image may be sent in multicasting messages based on a depth level and interval.
