US Patent 11750862 Video quality monitoring in a network environment

According to one configuration, a monitor resource monitors conveyance of content streaming over a shared communication link between a server resource and a communication device, the communication device requesting segments of the content from a manifest file. Monitoring as described herein can include intercepting and inspecting data packets associated with conveyance of the content over the shared communication link. An analyzer resource analyzes bandwidth attributes of streaming the content over the shared communication link. Based on the attributes of streaming the content (such as bandwidth, adaptive bit rate, etc.) over the shared communication link, the monitor resource generates a report indicating a link quality provided to the communication device via the shared communication link conveying the stream of content.
