System, methods, and devices for distributed physical layer networks

Non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• modulating and demodulating data packets, by one or more physical layer (PHY) devices of a first computing entity, for transmission between the first computing entity and a second computing entity comprising one or more media access control (MAC) layer devices, wherein the first computing entity and the second computing entity are placed in separate geographic locations;
• transferring first data packets, by the second computing entity and using a first serialized data stream, to the one or more PHY devices and receiving second data packets, using a second serialized data stream, from the one or more PHY devices, wherein the one or more MAC layer devices provide modulation instructions to the one or more PHY devices using the first serialized data stream, the modulation instructions comprising first parameters associated with demodulating the second data packets for the one or more MAC layer devices using the one or more PHY devices, and wherein the second data packets received by the first computing entity from the one or more PHY devices are demodulated by the one or more PHY devices based at least in part on the modulation instructions;
• and
• providing video content, by one or more application layer devices in communication with the one or more MAC layer devices, to the one or more MAC layer devices, wherein the one or more application layer devices are configured to control and monitor routing functions associated with a system, to determine second parameters including a segmentation parameter, and to provide the video content to the one or more MAC layer devices according to the second parameters and using a third serialized data stream,
• wherein the one or more PHY devices are configured to provide data associated with the demodulated second data packets to the one or more MAC layer devices using the second serialized data stream.

A method comprising:

• modulating and demodulating data packets, by one or more physical layer (PHY) devices of a first computing entity, the one or more PHY devices being in communication with a second computing entity comprising one or more media access control (MAC) layer devices, wherein the first computing entity and the second computing entity are placed in separate geographic locations;
• and
• transferring first data packets, by the second computing entity, to the one or more PHY devices using a first serialized data stream and receiving second data packets from the one or more PHY devices using a second serialized data stream, wherein the one or more MAC layer devices provide modulation instructions to the one or more PHY devices using the first serialized data stream, the modulation instructions comprising first parameters associated with demodulating the second data packets for the one or more MAC layer devices using the one or more PHY devices, and wherein the second data packets received by the second computing entity from the one or more PHY devices are demodulated by the one or more PHY devices based at least in part on the modulation instructions;
• and
• providing video content, by one or more application layer devices in communication with the one or more MAC layer devices, to the one or more MAC layer devices, wherein the application layer devices are configured to control and monitor routing functions associated with a system, to determine second parameters including a segmentation parameter, and to provide the video content to the one or more MAC layer devices according to the second parameters and using a third serialized data stream,
• wherein the one or more PHY devices are configured to provide data associated with the demodulated second data packets to the one or more MAC layer devices using the second serialized data stream.
