Patent abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for implementing a communication channel between a client device and a content distribution network (CDN) during playback of media content. The communication channel can be used by a client device to provide the CDN information pertaining to fragments the client device anticipates requesting from the CDN, as well as by the CDN to provide feedback to the client device regarding whether it is likely that the CDN will be able to satisfy the anticipated requests. The CDN can perform various operations based, at least in part, upon the information it receives from the client device.
