| 20090022064 | Method and apparatus for monitoring multicast bandwidth to a user - A method and apparatus of monitoring multicast bandwidth to user may include monitoring quantity of a multicast group flowing to a user and converting the quantity to bandwidth. The bandwidth may be summed with bandwidth of other multicast groups being monitored for the user to determine a total bandwidth flowing to the user. The method and apparatus may perform an action based on the total bandwidth. A counter may be associated with an identified multicast group requested to be received by the user and monitoring the quantity of the multicast group may include counting a number of bits bytes or other metric of the multicast group. Determining bandwidth allows the system to prevent users from exceeding their allocated bandwidth based on their service level agreement (SLA). The system may also identify dropped multicast group(s) and may also identify bandwidth utilization by reporting a user's bandwidth consumption. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090067840 | Method of providing multi-staged IP filters in a point-to-multipoint environment - Various service providers have different architectures to deliver Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) to their subscribers.
