Abstract
Methods and apparatus for enhanced delivery of content over a data network. In an aspect, a method is provided for transmitting services over a network. The method includes receiving one or more services having associated delivery requirements, determining that network bandwidth is available to meet the delivery requirements, and allocating the network bandwidth to the one or more services based on the delivery requirements to produce network bandwidth allocations. In an aspect, an apparatus is provided that includes receiving logic configured to receive one or more services having associated delivery requirements, and multiplexer logic configured to determine that network bandwidth is available to meet the delivery requirements, and to allocate the network bandwidth to the one or more services based on the delivery requirements to produce network bandwidth allocations.
