International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709219, 709231

Abstract:

A system and method for delivering content objects over the Internet to an end user system with a content delivery network (CDN) is disclosed. Content objects may be dynamically served by loading and/or reconfiguring publishing points upon receipt of an end user request. When an end-user media player requests a content object, the request is assigned to an edge server within a particular POP of the CDN. An optional peer-discovery algorithm may determine a content source for the requested content object within the CDN. The peer-discovery algorithm determines whether the publishing point associated with the requested object is loaded into the edge server. Alternatively, the algorithm queries other edge servers within or remote from the POP to determine whether the request is mapped by other edge servers to a content source using their respective publishing points. The edge server may reconfigure its publishing point toward the content source.

A system and method for delivering content objects over the Internet to an end user system with a content delivery network (CDN) is disclosed.

When a content object is requested by an end user media player, the request is assigned to an edge server within a particular POP of the CDN. An optional peer-discovery algorithm is used to determine a content source for the requested content object within the CDN. The peer-discovery algorithm first determines whether the publishing point associated with the requested content object is loaded into the edge server. Alternatively, the peer-discovery algorithm queries other edge servers within or remote from the particular POP to determine whether the request for content object is mapped by other edge servers to a content source using their respective publishing points. Once the content source for the requested content object is determined, the edge server reconfigures its publishing point toward the content source.

US Classification:

709217, 709231

Abstract:

A system and method for delivering content objects over the Internet to an end user system with a content delivery network (CDN) is disclosed. The system and method allow for dynamically storing and distributing a portion of content streams. When a content object is requested by an end user media player, the request is assigned to an edge server within the CDN. Characteristics of the content object are used to determine the portion of the content object where the portion is less than all of the requested content. The portion of content object is then retrieved from the content and is stored within the CDN. The portion of requested content is streamed to the end user media player. Ultimately, the whole content is streamed to the end user media player if the remainder of content is requested by the end user media player.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

709219

Abstract:

A method for transferring content across a content delivery network (CDN) may include receiving a notification of a request. The request may include a client identifier and a content identifier. The method may also include accessing one or more global policies applicable to the request. The method may additionally include determining, using the one or more global policies, that a client is eligible to receive content associated with the content identifier from another client; identifying, using the one or more global policies and the content identifier, one or more authorized transfers of at least a portion of the content; identifying one or more eligible clients that are associated with the one or more authorized transfers; and sending a set of client identifiers that are associated with the one or more eligible clients.
