Abstract:
1. A method comprising: by a device comprising one or more processors, detecting a primary request for a subset of a repeating set of data modules that repeatedly appears with a frequency within a data stream being provided to the device via a first network; by the device comprising one or more processors, determining a number of data modules between the requested subset of the repeating set of data modules and a most recent data module that the device received among the repeating set of data modules; by the device comprising one or more processors, calculating a time duration until the requested subset will next appear in the data stream, the time duration being calculated based on the frequency of the repeating set and the number of data modules between the requested subset and the most recent data module; and by the device comprising one or more processors and based on the time duration exceeding a threshold value, sending a secondary request that the requested subset be provided to the device via a second network.
