Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device, that includes a processing system including a processor, and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations including: creating an initial block in a blockchain, wherein the initial block includes first information describing an advertisement spot generated by a viewer device; adding second information to the initial block that identifies a purchaser of the advertisement spot; calculating a cryptographic hash for the initial block; and sending a copy of the cryptographic hash to a network element of a communications network, wherein the network element records the copy of the cryptographic hash in a hash ledger. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Quality of service and security are facilitated via functional classification of devices within a network. One method includes receiving, by a first device, notification information of a presence of a second device among the devices of the network, wherein the devices are configured to communicate information about events associated with respective operations of the devices; and generating, by the first device, first information indicative of an identity of and a functional classification of a function of the second device. The method also includes initiating, by the first device to a controller within the network, a transmission of second information for association of third information indicative of the functional classification of the function of the second device with fourth information generated by the second device. The functional classification of the function of the second device is associated with potential impact of failure of the second device.

Facilitating quality of service and security via functional classification of devices in networks

Quality of service and security are facilitated via functional classification of devices within a network. One method includes receiving, by a first device of devices of a network, notification information of a presence of a second device among the devices of the network, wherein the devices are configured to communicate information about events associated with respective operations of the devices; and generating, by the first device, first information indicative of an identity of and a functional classification of a function of the second device. The method also includes initiating, by the first device to a controller within the network, a transmission of second information for association of third information indicative of the functional classification of the function of the second device with data generated by the second device. The functional classification of the function of the second device is associated with potential impact of failure of the second device.

Systems and methods of applying security measures to data services are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor determines when more than one data service is used by or is accessible to a subscriber device and applies a security measure to at least one data service.

System and method of selectively applying security measures to data services

A method for problem detection related to received data includes monitoring data to detect a first problem and a second problem related to the data. The first problem may be related to a first data type and the second problem may be related to a second data type. The first data type and the second data type may be distinct from each other. The method includes determining a first remedial action in response to detecting the first problem and a second remedial action in response to detecting the second problem. The method includes determining a priority order for the first remedial action and the second remedial action.

System and method of problem detection in received Internet data, video data, and voice data

Methods and systems for problem detection related to received Internet data, video data, and voice data are disclosed. A method may include monitoring, at a set top box device, Internet data to detect a first problem related to the Internet data. The method may further include monitoring, at the set top box device, video data to detect a second problem related to the video data. The method may include automatically taking a first action upon detecting the first problem and automatically taking a second action upon detecting the second problem.
