Abstract

A stream management platform may receive a request to provide, via a network, a content stream to an area, wherein the request indicates a requested latency associated with providing the content stream to the area. The stream management platform may determine an entry node of the network that is to receive the content stream from a content source. The stream management platform may identify a plurality of transmission nodes associated with the area. The stream management platform may determine respective latencies associated with multicasting the content stream from the entry node to the plurality of transmission nodes. The stream management platform may determine whether the respective latencies satisfy the requested latency. The stream management platform may perform, based on whether the respective latencies satisfy the requested latency, an action associated with the content stream according to the respective latencies.
