Abstract
An electronic device (such as an origin server) in a content delivery system performs intelligent content server handling of client receipt disruptions. The electronic device may receive requests for segments of a content asset submitted using a manifest that has segment request addresses with session identifiers, estimate a session interruption using the requests and the session identifiers, and handle the session interruption. The electronic device may handle the session interruption by scheduling a recording of the content asset, reallocating network resources, and so on. In some examples, the electronic device may also provide the manifest.
