Problems solved by technology

Unless such manual work is used to select and configure appropriate delivery nodes based on changing demand for content, a distributed delivery node setup will quickly become sufficiently obsolete and lose its effectiveness

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Briefly, a method is provided that enables reduced traffic and more efficient use of resources and bandwidth in a data distribution network when content is delivered to multiple communication devices and terminals of content consuming users. In the following description, the term "consumer node" will be used to denote any such communication devices and terminals to which content may be delivered via a data distribution network. Thus, a consuming node is a termination point in the network for delivered content. Initially, content is delivered from a "source node" controlled and operated by a content provider, and is typically transported in the form of encoded data using an appropriate transport protocol via a number of intermediate nodes in the network before reaching a terminating consumer node. These intermediate nodes are only used as data relay nodes, and the data traffic through them and their connecting links can sometimes be substantial, thereby causing very high...

Abstract

Methods and nodes (200, 202) in a data distribution network, for distributing content to multiple consuming nodes (C1, C2, C3,...). A first node (200) detects (2:2) multiple data flows (2:1b) of a first content from the first node to a second node (202) in the distribution network, when the first node operates as delivering node of the first content for the consuming nodes. The first node then instructs (2:4) the second node to operate as delivering node of the first content for the consuming nodes and redirects (2:5) the consuming nodes to use the second node as delivering node of the first content. The first node further reduces (2:6) the multiple data flows to a common data flow of the first content to the second node. Thereby, efficiency can be improved in the data distribution network by reducing the number of data flows between the first and second nodes.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to methods and nodes in a data distribution network for distributing content to a plurality of consuming nodes connected to the network. Background technique [0002] In the field of data processing, customers such as various service providers, companies, enterprises, organizations and authorities require hardware and software resources in order to create infrastructures for various Internet or web applications. In this field, the term "resource" is often used simply to refer to any hardware and software for a computer to perform operations when providing applications including data processing, computing, editing, and data storage. [0003] In traditional solutions, customers themselves own and maintain all the resources they need, which can be very expensive and time-consuming, but also requires considerable knowledge to acquire and install such resources, which in turn may be due to the current and products q...
