Patent number: 8434121Abstract: A method for monitoring a bandwidth configuration for a plurality of customer premises connected to a video head-end office in an Internet Protocol television network is disclosed. The bandwidth configuration is received for each of the plurality of customer premises. The bandwidth configuration is stored for each of the plurality of customer premises in a memory of a first server. A data file is received from the video head-end office. The data file indicates that a set-top box device located at one of the customer premises has requested a video stream that would exceed a first number of video streams available to the one of the customer premises and that would exceed a first bandwidth currently available between the video head-end office and the one of the customer premises. The data file is stored in the memory of the first server.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2009Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Kenneth Ospalik, Marissa Earnshaw, Daniel P.
