Abstract

Systems and methods presented herein provide for intelligent routing of requests for insertion of advertisements into content. A network element, communicatively coupled to content distributers and to advertisement decision servers (ADSs), is operable to receive a Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) 130-3 request from a content distributer for advertisements to be inserted into a content selection. In response to receiving the SCTE 130-3 request, the network element communicates a request for advertisements to the ADSs, receives advertisements from each, determines a number of advertisement opportunities in the content selection, determines values of the advertisements from the ADSs, selects a portion of the advertisements from the ADSs that fulfills all of the advertisement opportunities in the content selection and that provides the most value, and combines the selected portion of the advertisements from the ADSs in a response to the content distributer for insertion into the content.
