摘要：A video on demand (VoD) network architecture implements a gateway that provides both satellite-based communications and radio frequency-based communications. The gateway may receive a content request from a video client and determine whether the content request corresponds to a content delivery network (CDN). When the content request corresponds to the CDN, the gateway may install a VoD access point name (APN) route designated for VoD traffic between the video client and the CDN, and communicate the content request to the CDN via the VoD APN route. The VoD APN route may include a VoD APN of a wireless wide area network (WWAN) connected to the gateway via an air interface. When the content request does not correspond to the CDN, the gateway may communicate the content request via an Internet APN route.

主权项：1. An apparatus, comprising: a processor to: request VoD content from a content delivery network (CDN) of a wireless wide area network (WWAN),inform the CDN of a viewing schedule corresponding to the VoD content,measure an available bandwidth for downloading the VoD content,notify the CDN of the available bandwidth, andperform a downloading operation to download the VoD content according to a download rate specified by the CDN of the WWAN; and a memory to store the video on demand (VoD) content.
