Delivery of foveated rendering streams for media content delivery

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a retransmission device configured to retransmit data streams toward a display device, from an upstream source, packets of a plurality of data streams for output at the display device, the plurality of data streams including a high priority data stream and a low priority data stream;
• receiving, at the retransmission device, information that distinguishes the high priority data stream from the low priority data stream;
• based at least in part on the received information, identifying, by the retransmission device, the high priority data stream and the low priority data stream;
• and
• retransmitting, by the retransmission device toward the display device, packets of the high priority data stream and packets of the low priority data stream while applying differentiated transmission behavior between the high priority data stream and the low priority data stream.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive, at a retransmission device configured to retransmit data streams toward a display device, from an upstream source, packets of a plurality of data streams for output at the display device, the plurality of data streams including a high priority data stream and a low priority data stream;
• receive, at the retransmission device, information that distinguishes the high priority data stream from the low priority data stream;
• based at least in part on the received information, identify, by the retransmission device, the high priority data stream and the low priority data stream;
• and
• retransmit, by the retransmission device toward the display device, packets of the high priority data stream and packets of the low priority data stream while applying differentiated transmission behavior between the high priority data stream and the low priority data stream.
