Systems and methods for delivering content to user equipment are described. The content may be delivered using Internet Protocol (IP) delivery, Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) delivery, or another delivery format. For example, the system may receive content including a plurality of segments. The system may use manifest data to identify each of the plurality of segments. The system may also use the manifest data to generate index data for the plurality of segments, and the index data may be delivered to user devices with the plurality of segments. In some aspects, the system may use location information (e.g., timestamps, such as program clock references) for one or more data packet of the one of the plurality of segments to generate location information for other data packets.

A method for creating accounts for accessing the Internet network through a unique terminating point of a premise provided with an internal handler includes transmitting to the internal handler, through the terminating point, numerical data associated with the connection parameters of the native account of the first subscriber, and numerical data associated with connection parameters of a second Internet network access account of a second subscriber, for each of the two subscribers to connect to the Internet network with his own connection parameters through the terminating point shared between the two the subscribers. The method further includes connecting a modem-router parameterized with the connection parameters of the second, to the internal handler, and transmitting to the modem-router a session authorization signal authorizing the modem-router to process the numerical data associated with the connection parameters of the second account and which travel through the terminating point.

A method for creating accounts for accessing the Internet network through a unique terminating point of a premises provided with an internal handler. The terminating point is adapted to authorize the transmission of numerical data to the internal handler, the numerical data are associated with connection parameters of a first native Internet network access account of a first subscriber. The method includes the steps of transmitting to the internal handler, through the terminating point, and the numerical data with the connection parameters of the native account of the first subscriber, another numerical data associated with connection parameters of a second Internet network access account of a second subscriber.

Content segments may be generated/sent in a different format than the format they are stored/received. Timing information for packets comprising the content segments in the requested format may be based on timing information for packets comprising the content segment in the stored format. For example, the timing information of the first packet in the requested format may comprise the timing information of the first packet in the stored format. The timing information of other packets in the requested format may be based on the timing information of the first packet in the requested format.

An access network includes a twisted metallic pair connection over which data may be transmitted in accordance with a digital subscriber line protocol of transmission. The access network further includes an access network modem connected to the twisted metallic pair connection which is operable to transmit and receive signals thereover, in accordance with a digital subscriber line protocol of transmission. The access network further comprises a broadband speed estimation tool including a web server and/or an order processing sub-system 1120 and a line length, further deployment factors and speed determiner module 1170. The access network further comprises a line management subsystem which determines an appropriate value for each of one or more configuration parameters associated with the operation of the access network modem in dependence upon an estimated data rate and causes the access network modem to operate in accordance with the determined value or values of the configuration parameters.

Embodiments of this application disclose a data processing method for avoiding a packet loss and for improving user experience. The method in the embodiments includes: sending, by a cable modem termination system CMTS, a dynamic bonding change (DBC) request to a cable modem (CM), where the DBC request is used to request the CM to change a modulation profile group corresponding to the downstream channel from a first profile group to a second profile group. The first profile group is a profile group currently supported by the CM, and at least one target profile in the second profile group is not in the first profile group. The method further includes sending, by the CMTS, a first downstream data packet to the CM by using any profile in the first profile group, and sending a second downstream data packet to the CM by using the target profile.
