Abstract: A system receives one or more content streams for a program including a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Live Streaming (HLS) master manifest file for the program, HLS media segments having different bitrate variants, and HLS media manifest files for each of the different bitrate variants. The system encapsulates the HLS master manifest file, the HLS media segments, and the HLS media manifest files into Internet Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (IP/UDP) packets and sends the IP/UDP packets via multicast to video serving offices. Network devices in the video serving offices extract from the IP/UDP packets the HLS master manifest file, the HLS media segments, and the HLS media manifest files. The network devices send to a cache device the HLS media segments and the HLS media manifest files; and forward the IP/UDP packets via multicast to devices in customer premises.

Abstract: A device described herein may maintain a sets of service parameters respectively associated with multiple networks. The device may receive a request, including may include an identifier of a User Equipment (“UE”), to register the UE with a particular network. The device may identify, based on the request, a particular set of service parameters associated with the particular network, and may output an indication, to the particular network, indicating the identifier of the UE and the identified particular set of service parameters. The particular network may select or generate a set of network credentials based on receiving the indication, which may be used by the UE to access the particular network. The particular network may provide service to the UE in accordance with the particular set of service parameters.
