20090310480 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING SESSION ENCAPSULATION INFORMATION WITHIN AN INTERNET PROTOCOL CONTENT BYPASS ARCHITECTURE - An apparatus, method and system for delivering Internet Protocol (IP) content within a system that includes a bypass architecture, using a Session Encapsulation Information Database (SEIDB). Within an existing PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM) framework used as a control plane for IP content bypass flow setup, the SEIDB system stores session bypass encapsulation information for IP content bypass flows within the system. Within the SEIDB, each entry of bypass encapsulation information has a flow classifier component that uniquely identifies a bypass flow in a manner that allows both a cable modem termination system (CMTS) and the IP content source to uniquely identify the bypass flow at the SEIDB. Initially, the CMTS gathers bypass encapsulation information and uploads it to the SEIDB. Before the bypass flow begins, the IP content source obtains the necessary bypass encapsulation information from the SEIDB, e.g., using a flow classifier as a search filter item. | 12-17-2009 |
20090310596 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING BYPASS ENCAPSULATION OF INTERNET CONTENT WITHIN A BYPASS ARCHITECTURE - An apparatus, method and system for delivering Internet content within a system that includes a bypass architecture, such as a bypass architecture that transmits content from the Internet or an Internet content source to a downstream modulator, such as an Edge Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (EQAM) modulator, in a manner that bypasses the system's Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). Content from the Internet or an Internet source is transmitted to a last-hop router, which is configured to identify content for bypass encapsulation. The last-hop router also can be configured to perform at least a portion of the necessary bypass encapsulation for proper bypass flows of the identified content. Alternatively, the EQAM is configured to perform the bypass encapsulation, and the last-hop router transmits the identified content to the EQAM, which performs at least a portion of the necessary bypass encapsulation on the identified content. | 12-17-2009 |
20100083329 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTING AND CONFIGURING INTERNET CONTENT FOR BYPASS ENCAPSULATION WITHIN A BYPASS ARCHITECTURE - An apparatus, method and system for delivering Internet content within a system that includes an encapsulation database and a last-hop router as part of a bypass architecture, such as a bypass architecture that transmits IP content from a source to a downstream modulator, such as an EQAM modulator, in a manner that bypasses the system's Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). The encapsulation database, which typically is controlled by the MSO, but also is in operable communication with the last-hop router and CMTS, is configured to store encapsulation identification information, which is used to identify which portions of the IP content receive bypass encapsulation. The encapsulation database also can include the QoS settings for such identified portions of IP content. The encapsulation database allows the MSO to provide QoS settings for select portions of IP content, such as videos from internet video providers with whom the MSO has made special arrangements. | 04-01-2010 |
