Method for detecting video tiling
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by at least one computing device from an error-reporting device of a network, a message indicating that at least one error associated with a data stream has been detected at the error-reporting device receiving the data stream;
determining, by the at least one computing device, a path through which the data stream is transmitted, the path being associated with the error-reporting device based on a logical representation of a multicast tree, comprising a plurality of paths, of the network;
determining, for each link of a plurality of links of the path, a cumulative number of errors detected during each overlapping time period of a plurality of overlapping time periods having different lengths; and
outputting data representative of the respective cumulative number of errors and the corresponding overlapping time period, of the plurality of overlapping time periods, for each link of the plurality of links of the path.

Abstract
A method for detecting errors on an audio/video (A/V) data stream in a data service network includes providing multicast components operably coupled to each other via respective links for transmitting the A/V data stream to a user and for defining at least one multicast tree. The method further includes generating a state information signal indicative of a number of errors on the A/V data stream for at least one of the links and at least one of the plurality of multicast components. The method further includes determining the cumulative number of errors on the A/V data stream that are indicative of the number of errors for the at least one of the links and the at least one of the plurality of multicast components in the multicast tree in response to the state information signal.

7. A method, comprising:
-
generating, for each multicast tree of a plurality of multicast trees of a network, a logical representation of a plurality of paths in the respective multicast tree; receiving, by at least one computing device from an error-reporting device of the network, a message indicating that at least one error associated with a data stream has been detected at the error-reporting device receiving the data stream; determining a multicast tree of the plurality of multicast trees affected by the at least one error; determining a path of the plurality of paths of the multicast tree affected by the at least one error; determining, for each link of a plurality of links of the path, a plurality of cumulative number of errors respectively detecting during a plurality of overlapping time periods having different lengths; and outputting data representative of the respective cumulative number of errors and the corresponding overlapping time period, of the plurality of overlapping time periods, for each link of the plurality of links of the path. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing device from a receiver of a network comprising a multicast tree, an alert indicating that at least one error associated with a data stream has been detected at the receiver receiving the data stream; determining, by the computing device, a path through which the data stream is transmitted, the path being associated with the receiver based on a logical representation of the multicast tree comprising a plurality of paths; determining, for each link of a plurality of links of the path, a plurality of cumulative number of errors respectively detected during a plurality of overlapping time periods having different lengths; and outputting data representative of the respective cumulative number of errors and the corresponding overlapping time period, of the plurality of overlapping time periods, for each link of the plurality of links of the path. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
