Content delivery to over the top device from customer premises equipment using notifications and dynamic port assignment

Abstract:

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an inter-networked content service is provided. The inter-networked content service may allow an end device to receive content from a set top box when the end device is not connected to a local area network of the set top box. The inter-networked content service may provide for push notification messaging between the end device and the set top box to obtain network address, status, and port information in support of a content session.
