A network arrangement that employs a cache having copies distributed among a plurality of different locations. The cache stores state information for a session with any of the server devices so that it is accessible to at least one other server device. Using this arrangement, when a client device switches from a connection with a first server device to a connection with a second server device, the second server device can retrieve state information from the cache corresponding to the session between the client device and the first server device. The second server device can then use the retrieved state information to accept a session with the client device.

Distributed Internet caching via multiple node caching management. Caching decisions and management are performed based on information corresponding to more than one caching node device (sometimes referred to as a distributed caching node device, distributed Internet caching node device, and / or DCN) within a communication system. The communication system may be composed of one type or multiple types of communication networks that are communicatively coupled to communicate there between, and they may be composed of any one or combination types of communication links therein [wired, wireless, optical, satellite, etc.]). In some instances, more than one of these DCNs operate cooperatively to make caching decisions and direct management of content to be stored among the more than one DCNs. In an alternative embodiment, a managing DCN is operative to make caching decisions and direct management of content within more than one DCNs of a communication system.

The present invention extends to trusted third party authentication for Web services. Web services trust and delegate user authentication responsibility to a trusted third party that acts as an identity provider for the trusting Web services. The trusted third party authenticates users through common authentication mechanisms, such as, for example, username / password and X.509 certificates and uses initial user authentication to bootstrap subsequent secure sessions with Web services. Web services construct user identity context using a service session token issued by the trusted third party and reconstruct security states without having to use a service-side distributed cache.

The present disclosure discloses a method, a system and a server of removing a distributed caching object. In one embodiment, the method receives a removal request, where the removal request includes an identifier of an object. The method may further apply consistent Hashing to the identifier of the object to obtain a Hash result value of the identifier, locates a corresponding cache server based on the Hash result value and renders the corresponding cache server to be a present cache server.

Additionally, in response to determining that the present cache server is in an active status and has an active period greater than the expiration period associated with the object, the method removes the object from the present cache server. By comparing an active period of a located cache server with an expiration period associated with an object, the exemplary embodiments precisely locate a cache server that includes the object to be removed and perform a removal operation, thus saving the other cache servers from wasting resources to perform removal operations and hence improving the overall performance of the distributed cache system.

In a wireless system comprising a plurality of radio base station, each base station services a portion of the system. A cache is associated with each base station. The cache stores files regularly requested by the remote unit within the coverage area of the corresponding base station. When a base station receives a message from a remote unit, it parses the message to determine if the message comprises a file request. If so, the base station determines whether the file is available from the cache. If available, the base station responds to the request by forwarding the requested file from the cache. If the file is not available, the base station forwards the message to a central controller, which retrieves the file via the Internet from the appropriate content server and provides it to the base station.

A plurality of access nodes sharing access to data on a storage network implement a directory based cache ownership scheme. One node, designated as a global coordinator, maintains a directory (e.g., table or other data structure) storing information about I / O operations by the access nodes. The other nodes send requests to the global coordinator when an I / O operation is to be performed on identified data. Ownership of that data in the directory is given to the first requesting node. Ownership may transfer to another node if the directory entry is unused or quiescent. The distributed directory-based cache coherency allows for reducing bandwidth requirements between geographically separated access nodes by allowing localized (cached) access to remote data.

A distributed caching and redistribution system, method, and mobile client for caching and redistributing data content in a wireless data network. The system enables mobile clients to cache data content that has been distributed by means of broadcast or multicast, and to redistribute the content from the cache to other users. Using anycast techniques applied to the PLMN, a user who wants to retrieve data that was distributed earlier locates the nearest user that has the content available, and asks the nearest user to forward the content. The “nearest” user may be the closest user, but may also be the optimal user from a Quality of Service (QoS) point of view.

A system and method for transferring multiple portions of data utilizing a distributed cache are disclosed. A content server obtains a request for content data and associates an identifier with the request. The content server returns a first portion of the data with the request and stores a second portion of the data in a cache according to the first identifier. Thereafter, the content server receives a request for the remaining portion of the provider data and associates a second identifier with the second request. If the second identifier matches the first identifier, the content server returns the data stored according to the first identifier. Additionally, the content server implements and utilizes a click server having multiple cache servers in which multi-cache replication is utilized to store identical contents in each cache server.

A multi-processor, multi-cache system has filter pipes that store entries for request messages sent to a central coherency controller. The central coherency controller orders requests from filter pipes using coherency rules but does not track completion of invalidations. The central coherency controller reads snoop tags to identify sharing caches having a copy of a requested cache line. The central coherency controller sends an ordering message to the requesting filter pipe. The ordering message has an invalidate count indicating the number of sharing caches. Each sharing cache receives an invalidation message from the central coherency controller, invalidates its copy of the cache line, and sends an invalidation acknowledgement message to the requesting filter pipe. The requesting filter pipe decrements the invalidate count until all sharing caches have acknowledged invalidation. All ordering, data, and invalidation acknowledgement messages must be received by the requesting filter pipe before loading the data into its cache.
