System, apparatus and method for associating an anticipated success indication with data delivery

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
• determine to provide to a network element one or more attributes of a device;
• and
• receive an anticipated success indication comprising an indication of a likelihood of success for at least one of transferring content to the device and rendering software in the device, wherein the anticipated success indication is based at least in part on one or more of the attributes and one or more historical success rates for transferring content and/or rendering software for other devices having one or more attributes similar to corresponding attributes of the device.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a processor of a network element, one or more attributes of a device;
• facilitating, by the processor, a determination of an anticipated success indication comprising an indication of a likelihood of success for at least one of transferring content to the device and rendering software in the device, wherein the anticipated success indication is based at least in part on one or more of the attributes and one or more historical success rates for transferring content and/or rendering software for other devices having one or more attributes similar to corresponding attributes of the device;
• and
• determining to transmit the anticipated success indication to the device.
