Abstract
A content delivery system provides packet-level ratings of media content for use by client devices in rendering the media content thereon. A client device can store a permission level and compare the permission level with respective rating levels included in received media packets. The media content within the received media packets is rendered on the client device on the condition that the permission level compares favorably with the associated rating level and blocked on the condition that the permission level compares unfavorably with the associated rating level.
