Embodiment Construction

[0011] The present invention distinguishes between pieces / parts / aspects of content. Portions or aspects of the content are designated as "essential" or "auxiliary". For example, in the context of a game, the game engine is the primary content, and game data such as different levels of the game, different vehicles, different characters, etc. are designated as secondary content. In the context of interactive services, content players (players) and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) will be designated as fundamental. Data such as news, sports scores, etc. will be designated as secondary. In the context of multimedia content with an associated player, a multimedia player (video / audio codec) will be essential. The multimedia content itself will be auxiliary.

[0012] In one embodiment, the service provider differentiates the content. The service provider is an entity that provides a system including a content server and a cache server through which content is distributed. In ano...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for caching content are described including storing content on a content server, differentiating between pieces of content and storing a portion of the differentiated content at a cache server proximate to a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to network caching of content, and in particular to a network caching of content that is hierarchical in nature. Content that is hierarchical in nature includes, but is not limited to, games, multimedia content with associated players, and interactive content. Background technique [0002] Prior art solutions for efficient utilization of network resources such as bandwidth and memory include storing content at content servers and additionally, based on some algorithm, cache servers closer to users / clients if necessary content. Users / clients may additionally have storage located locally in their home / office. One such system delays content delivery to off-peak traffic hours in order to use network resources more efficiently. [0003] A system that does not delay content delivery needs to quickly and efficiently move content that is not yet at a cache server to a cache server where it is most efficiently further distribute...
