Abstract: A client media application sends a first request for a first chunk of a particular media stream. In response to the request, the client media application begins receiving data packets associated with the requested first chunk of the particular media stream. The data packets are received through a socket having a buffer. Rather than waiting until all of the data packets associated with the first chunk of the particular media stream have been read from the buffer by the client media application before sending a request for a second chunk of the particular media stream, the client media application monitors the amount of data that has been received compared to an expected amount of data, and sends the second request when it determines that the amount of data remaining to be received is less than the size of the buffer.

Abstract: A technique for managing sessions in a communication network that does not subscribe to registration events immediately after an entity in the network is registered but rather delays subscribing to these events until a time that such notification would be normally used, such as after a revocable session has been established with the entity. An entity registers to enable sessions to be established with other entities in the communication network. After a session is established, a check is performed to determine if a subscription to be notified of events that warrants revoking the session already exists. If not, a subscription is established to be notified of events that warrant revoking the session. If during the session a notification is received indicating that an event that warrants revoking the session has occurred, the session is revoked.
