Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices relating to network control are described herein. In a method, a computing device may receive a request from a client device for a first segment of a first version of a content asset. The computing device may determine, based on one or more usage characteristics associated with a capability of the computing device to provide content to connected client devices, a second version of the content asset for the client device to request in one or more subsequent requests for the content asset. The computing device may send the requested-for first segment to the client device via a response that also comprises a header, trailer, or metadata indicating the second version of the content asset. The computing device may receive a second request for a second segment of the second version of the content asset.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing data and/or operations on data such as content are disclosed. A method can comprise receiving data from a source, determining timing information associated with the source and automatically modifying a storage operation of data received from the source based upon the timing information.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for content distribution. A first computing device may send a request for content to a second computing device. The first computing device may receive data that indicates a third computing device, and the first computing device may send a request for content to the third computing device. The third computing device may facilitate the first computing device receiving content from a fourth device.

Abstract: To fulfill a request by a user for media or data content, disclosed methods and systems provide for delivering the content item from a content delivery network and an initial portion of the content item from a cache residing in one or more local devices that are in communication with the user system. To locate the requested content, the user system may use one or more manifests of available cache locations and content. The local devices may provide cached content to the user system via a wireless network, which may be a mesh WiFi network.
