Abstract
Certain aspects of the invention for controlling transfer of media content in a communication network may comprise the step of receiving an input specifying at least one media file for transfer via a communication channel in the communication network. Based on a received selection specifying various quality of service (QoS) parameters to be utilized to transfer one or more of the media files, one or more of the media files may be transferred via the communication channel utilizing at least some of the received quality of service selection. At least a portion of the specified parameters may be transferred to a first communication device such as a broadband headend or a media server that is coupled to the communication network. The second device may utilize some or all of the transferred parameters to configure at least a portion of the communication channel over which the file is transferred.
