Abstract
In certain embodiments, a video content (VC) client performs a two-stage address resolution process to determine how, if possible, to access 'private only' video content such as Title VI video content. In the first stage, the VC client queries a public Domain Name System (DNS) server for the IP address(es) of a video content DNS (vcDNS) server containing the necessary video content records under the control of a VC provider. In the second stage, the VC client queries the vcDNS server for the VC provider's video content URL (vcURL) address(es), where each vcURL address indicates how the given video content is reachable. When the vcURL address is reachable via the public Internet, the given video content meets the Title II content rules. Alternatively, when the vcURL address is reachable only via the private video handoff link interface, the given video content meets the Title VI content rules.
