Systems and methods for managing multicast data transmissions
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring multicast data feeds, comprising a multicast-enabled network device for transmitting a multicast feed from a multicast feed source to a user device via a network;
- a feed agent operatively coupled to the multicast-enabled network device for collecting and storing multicast feed data from the multicast feed source; and
a management server operatively coupled to the feed agent for receiving multicast feed data collected by the feed agent.

Abstract
A system enables monitoring a multicast data feeds over a network. The system may include a multicast-enabled network device for transmitting a multicast feed from a multicast feed source to a user device via a computer network. A feed agent may be operatively coupled to the multicast-enabled network device for collecting and storing multicast feed data from the multicast feed source. A management server may be operatively connected to the feed agent for receiving multicast feed data collected by the feed agent. The management server may include a web server for receiving requests for multicast feed data over the network via a web interface.

21. A method for monitoring multicast feeds transmitted via a network, comprising:
-
receiving, at a network device, a multicast data feed from a data source;
logging data statistics regarding the multicast data feed;
transmitting the multicast data feed to a user device; and
transmitting the logged data statistics to a server. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A computer-readable medium containing instructions for controlling one or more processors to perform a method for monitoring multicast feeds transmitted via a computer, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a network device, a multicast data feed from a data source;
logging data statistics regarding the multicast data feed;
transmitting the multicast data feed to a user device;
transmitting the logged data statistics to a management server;
storing the logged data statistics at a database associated with the management server;
retrieving stored data statistics from the database in response to a request from a client computing device; and
transmitting retrieved data statistics to the client computer device via a web interface.
