Abstract
Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for canonical scheduling for heterogeneous content delivery. A content stream of bits is preprocessed by dividing the content stream of bits into data packets and assigning a timestamp to each data packet. The preprocessed content stream of bits is transmitted upon request from a receiver. A second timestamp based on the assigned timestamp from at least a portion of the respective data packets is established. The data packets are scheduled for transmission based on the second timestamp. The data packets are transmitted based on the schedule.
