Mirroring flow configurations for internet protocol receivers
Disclosed is a mechanism of operating a Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) Application Programming Interface (API) at a node controlling a local device including a local receiver. A flow message is received via the NMOS API. The flow message contains a flow state of a target receiver at a remote node. A local receiver at the local device is configured to mirror the flow state of the target receiver at the remote node. The NMOS API then notifies a registry with an updated flow state of the local receiver at the local device.
1. A computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a node, cause the node to:
operate a Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) Application Programming Interface (API);
receive a flow message via the NMOS API, the flow message containing a flow state of a target receiver at a remote node;
configure a local receiver at a local device to mirror the flow state of the target receiver at the remote node; and
notify, via the NMOS API, a registry with an updated flow state of the local receiver at the local device.
2. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein mirroring the flow state of the target receiver at the remote node includes obtaining, at the local receiver, a shared flow received by the target receiver, the shared flow received from a shared sender node.
3. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the processor further causes the node to periodically transmit poll messages to a registry, the poll messages requesting the flow state of the target receiver at the remote node.
4. The computer readable storage medium of claim 3 , wherein the flow message is received from the registry.
5. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the processor further causes the node to periodically transmit poll messages to the remote node, the poll messages requesting the flow state of the target receiver at the remote node.
6. The computer readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the flow message is received from the remote node.
7. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the processor further causes the node to transmit a mirror setup message to a connection manager.
8. The computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the flow message is received from a connection manager.
9. A method comprising:
operating a Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) Application Programming Interface (API) at a node controlling a local device including a local receiver;
receiving a flow message via the NMOS API, the flow message containing a flow state of a target receiver at a remote node;
configuring the local receiver at the local device to mirror the flow state of the target receiver at the remote node; and
notifying, via the NMOS API, a registry with an updated flow state of the local receiver at the local device.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein mirroring the flow state of the target receiver at the remote node includes obtaining, at the local receiver, a shared flow received by the target receiver, the shared flow received from a shared sender node.
11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising periodically transmitting poll messages to a registry, the poll messages requesting the flow state of the target receiver at the remote node.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the flow message is received from the registry.
13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising periodically transmitting poll messages to the remote node, the poll messages requesting the flow state of the target receiver at the remote node.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the flow message is received from the remote node.
15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising transmitting a mirror setup message to a connection manager.
16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the flow message is received from a connection manager.
