  • Patent number: 12609863
    Abstract: A system and a method for observable configuration delivery include, for each target tenants of a plurality of target tenants, determining a corresponding last unicast configuration change request (CCR) received; determining a number of previously unbooked unicast CCRs for the plurality of target tenants, a previously unbooked unicast CCR being a last unicast CCR received that has not been booked into a distribution to be submitted to a headend service (HES); booking the previously unbooked unicast CCRs into one or more distributions based on the number of the previously unbooked unicast CCRs and a configured capacity of each distribution of the one or more distributions; and sending the one or more distributions to the HES for sending the booked previously unbooked unicast CCRs to the plurality of target tenants.

  • Patent number: 12526188
    Abstract: A system and a method for observable configuration delivery include receiving one or more configuration change requests (CCRs); storing the one or more CCRs in a database; signaling configuration send channels of target tenants of a plurality of tenants associated with the one or more CCRs to awaken; sending the one or more CCRs from the database to the target tenants through a headend service (HES); receiving asynchronous status messages from the HES as a result of sending the one or more CCRs; signaling the configuration send channels for a next set of CCRs based on the asynchronous status messages; and sending the next set of CCRs to one or more tenants of the target tenants.
