ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for analyzing signaling messages associated with delivery of streaming media content to subscribers via a broadcast and multicast service (BCMCS) are disclosed. According to one method, at least one signaling message transmitted between network elements associated with delivery of streaming media content to a subscriber via a BCMCS is monitored. The at least one signaling message is analyzed. Information resulting from the analysis is provided to at least one BCMCS data processing application.
