Abstract: Techniques for managing receiving, at a network receiver device, from a video streaming solution, segments for each of a plurality of video streams over one or more multicast channels, where the network receiver device is configured to cache the segments for consumption by one or more client devices. A first network congestion condition is satisfied at the network receiver device. In response to detecting the first network congestion condition is satisfied, a first one of the plurality of video streams having a lower priority is selected, relative to a second one of the plurality of video streams. Segments for the first video stream are requested using an alternate channel. Embodiments unsubscribe from a first one of the multicast channels for the selected first video stream.
