  • Patent number: 9591337
    Abstract: Reducing head end server demand for cable television/services systems with point-to-point Media on Demand content delivery is provided. Upon receiving a request for media content, a content table may be requested from one or more neighboring network-connected devices to search for the requested content. If the requested content is found, the content may be provided to the requesting device from the neighboring device. If the requested content is not found on a neighboring device, a hub server station may be queried for the requested media content. The media content may be provided by the head end server if the content is not available on a neighboring device or the hub server. Embodiments may reduce demand on the head end server and free the head end server capacity for other uses.
