Abstract
A method and system for delivery of real-time popular recorded over-the-top (OTT) streams in a broadband network are provided. The method includes monitoring OTT streams flow in the broadband network; for each monitored OTT stream, determining if a type of a monitored OTT stream is a recorded OTT stream; upon determining that the type of a monitored OTT stream is a recorded OTT stream, determining an efficiency in delivering the recorded OTT stream in a multicast format; reformatting the recorded OTT stream into a multicast OTT stream, if the recorded OTT stream can be efficiently delivered in a multicast format; and delivering the recorded OTT stream as a multicast OTT stream to a user edge device over the broadband network.
