Abstract
Client devices in a content delivery network may send requests for content to upstream devices along with one or more parameters that indicate, as an example, client-device-related conditions or constraints, such as available buffer space or buffer starvation time. These parameters may be used by the upstream devices to prioritize content requests according to a prioritization schedule to ensure requested content is timely delivered to the appropriate client device(s) at the appropriate time to prevent playback failure, stalls, etc.
