An apparatus, method and system for delivering Internet content within a system that includes a bypass architecture, such as a bypass architecture that transmits content from the Internet or an Internet content source to a downstream modulator, such as an Edge Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (EQAM) modulator, in a manner that bypasses the system's Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). Content from the Internet or an Internet source is transmitted to a last-hop router, which is configured to identify content for bypass encapsulation. The last-hop router also can be configured to perform at least a portion of the necessary bypass encapsulation for proper bypass flows of the identified content. Alternatively, the EQAM is configured to perform the bypass encapsulation, and the last-hop router transmits the identified content to the EQAM, which performs at least a portion of the necessary bypass encapsulation on the identified content. |
