In this paper we present an idea of a propriety Software Defined residential Network (SDrN) and we show as a use case, a multicast streaming service that can be hosted on such networks. To verify the feasibility of the service in the context of quality of service, we offer to the providers of online streaming services (in some cases the ISPs themselves), APIs to control and validate the QoS of the users in the service. The QoS control APIs were tested on SDN based simulation environment.
