Abstract:
A data analyzer engine receives feedback associated with delivery of content (such as streaming content) to multiple subscriber domains in a cable network environment. The data analyzer engine analyzes the feedback to identify attributes of current content consumption by playback devices operated in the subscriber domains. Based on the analyzed feedback, the data analyzer engine produces control information specifying data flow control rates in which the playback devices are assigned to retrieve content over a shared communication link in the cable network environment. Accordingly, data flow rates in a network environment (such as a subscriber domain) can be controlled to promote fairness and optimal use of available bandwidth amongst multiple playback devices sharing a respective communication link.

Claim (Index 21):
A method comprising:\n from a hardware resource in a subscriber domain:\n generating feedback indicating current content consumption by a playback device in the subscriber domain; \n forwarding the feedback to a management resource; and \n in response to forwarding the feedback, receiving control information generated by the management resource based on the feedback, the control information specifying a data flow control rate assigned to the playback device for retrieval of content in the subscriber domain.
