  • Publication number: 20240112564
    Abstract: Delivery and monitoring of Emergency Alert System (EAS) media files via router computing devices using redirection responses is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a router computing device receives an EAS notification from a server computing device. The EAS notification received by the router computing device includes an EAS media file manifest Universal Resource Locator (URL) of an EAS media file to be pushed to subscribers. Upon receiving the EAS notification, the router computing device intercepts an Internet Protocol (IP) streaming content request from a client computing device that is communicatively coupled to the router computing device, and transmits a redirection response message that includes the EAS media file manifest URL to the client computing device. Upon receiving the redirection response message from the router computing device, the client computing device is redirected from any currently streaming media to the EAS media file manifest URL.

  • Patent number: 11750862
    Abstract: According to one configuration, a monitor resource monitors conveyance of content streaming over a shared communication link between a server resource and a communication device, the communication device requesting segments of the content from a manifest file. Monitoring as described herein can include intercepting and inspecting data packets associated with conveyance of the content over the shared communication link. An analyzer resource analyzes bandwidth attributes of streaming the content over the shared communication link. Based on the attributes of streaming the content (such as bandwidth, adaptive bit rate, etc.) over the shared communication link, the monitor resource generates a report indicating a link quality provided to the communication device via the shared communication link conveying the stream of content.
