Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to viewing and filtering media content. In one embodiment, the invention is a system for networking based redirecting of content, including but not limited to, media files, electronic documents, application data, on-demand data, and live-streamed data. The system includes at least one content delivery network (CDN) comprising a processor, memory to store data used by a processor, where the system includes more than one encoder server capable of sending more than one bit rate for a channel to an anchor server, where the anchor server determines which ingestion server to send content to, and where the channel content bit rate sent to a user device is dependent upon the user device internet bandwidth.

Abstract: Method and system for authenticating a telecommunication session request provides the steps of receiving the telecommunication session request, sending an authentication trigger request, receiving at least one authentication character encoded by a DTMF tone that is not capable of being generated via a keypad stroke and performing an authentication operation upon the at least one received authentication character. In one embodiment of the invention, the at least one authentication character is a string of authentication characters. The string may further include a first non-numeric DTMF tone (indicative of the beginning of the string of authentication characters), one or more alpha-numeric DTMF tones and a second non-numeric DTMF tone (indicative of the end of the string of authentication characters). Additional information may also be appended to the at least one authentication character during the receiving step (i.e., callerID information or a destination number for the telecommunication session).
