Abstract
A network device may be operable to manage a network connection of customer premise equipment (CPE). While the CPE is operating in a normal mode of operation, the network device may communicate with the CPE utilizing one or more messages of a first type. While the CPE is operating in a low-power mode of operation, the network device may communicate with the CPE utilizing one or more messages of a second type. The network device may be operable to determine a particular program identifier to be utilized for messages the first type of message, and transmit such message(s) to the CPE. The message(s) transmitted while the CPE is in a low-power mode may comprise MPEG-TS packets having the particular program identifier. The message(s) transmitted while the CPE is not in the low-power mode may comprises MPEG-TS packets not having the particular program identifier.
