Abstract
Methods are described for managing the delivery of electronic data, such as media content, through a network. An indication of a quantity of data transmitted via a network during a first time period may be received, the quantity of data including a first portion of a content item. Based on the quantity of data transmitted during the first time period, it may be determined that a first bandwidth utilization threshold of the network has been satisfied, and the network may be optimized for delivery of a second portion of the content item.
