Abstract: A content distribution system is disclosed that supports verification of transmission. In some embodiments, a remote probe device captures content and sends the content to a decrypting device so that decryption may be performed. The decrypting device may archive the content and may subsequently send the content to the probe device or to a playback device so that the content may be displayed. Consequently, the content distribution system can verify that specified content (e.g., an advertisement) was correctly distributed according to scheduled information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring network devices are provided. Aspects of the disclosure relate to configuration parameters and methods for using configuration parameters to provide enhanced services to users in a network. Updated configuration parameters may be provided in response to a request for temporary alteration of a communication parameter associated with a communication protocol of a network device. The updated communication parameter may cause alteration of a communication parameter associated with the communication protocol while leaving unchanged a second communication protocol of the network device.

Abstract: A probe is configured to monitor one or more communication parameters on one or more downstream frequency channels carried on a communication medium of an access network. Results of repeated monitoring are stored over a predetermined period. At the conclusion of the monitoring period, data reports reflecting the stored results are transmitted in upstream frequency channels carried on the same medium. The probe can also be configured to send immediate messages if a parameter exceeds predefined limits and can store a plurality of monitoring programs and can be reprogrammed remotely. The probe can be contained within a cable tap if the medium is, e.g., a coaxial cable. Numerous probes can be deployed throughout an access network so as to provide monitoring data from each of many locations over a prolonged period.

Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring network devices are provided. According to some aspects, a computing device may receive status information regarding network usage by a network device. The computing device may receive an identifier of the network device. A determination may be made to alter a first communication ability of the network device based on the status information. For example, a communication protocol or communication port may have one or more aspects altered. In response, the computing device may select an updated communication parameter based on the status information and/or the identifier of the network device. The updated communication parameter may be selected based on compatibility with the network device. The updated communication parameter may be transmitted to the network device. The updated communication parameter may cause alteration of the first communication ability while leaving unchanged a second communication ability.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to Quality of Service (QoS) configuration parameters and methods for using QoS configuration parameters to provide enhanced services to users in a network. A first computing device may receive an indication that a network device requires an updated communication parameter.
