Abstract
A network device providing audio-video packet delivery over a local area network may include a memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive data packets from a server, the data packets being addressed to an electronic device downstream from the network device. The at least one processor may be further configured to determine whether the data packets satisfy an offload condition. The at least one processor may be further configured to, when the data packets satisfy the offload condition: transmit, to the server, acknowledgement packets corresponding to the received data packets, store the data packets in a buffer, transmit the data packets to the electronic device, and retransmit the data packets to the electronic device responsive to request therefor, the retransmitted data packets being retrieved from the buffer.
