Abstract
A system () includes an interface portal () to receive (), at a resource locator () pointing to media content (), a request () for the media content from a client device (). A server complex () can validate a secure token () of the request, and can issue a new token () that includes one or more session identification credentials (). These can include a session identifier () indicating a session required to retrieve the media content to the client device, an identifier of an edge server () to serve the request for the media content, and other information. A resource management system (), operable with the server complex and the edge server, can then throttle a data rate of the session as a function of the one or more session identification credentials or terminate the session as a function of the one or more session credentials.
