Abstract: Disclosed are methods, circuits, devices, systems and associated computer executable code for distributed content caching and delivery. An access or gateway network may include two or more gateway nodes integral or otherwise functionally associated with a caching unit. Each of the caching units may include: (a) a caching repository, (b) caching/delivery logic and (c) an inter-cache communication module. Caching logic of a given caching unit may include content characterization functionality for generating one or more characterization parameters associated with and/or derived from content entering a gateway node with which the given caching unit is integral or otherwise functionally associated. Content characterization parameters generated by a characterization module of a given caching unit may be compared with content characterization parameters of content already cached in: one or more cache repositories of the given caching unit, and one or more cache repositories of other caching units.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, circuits, devices, systems and associated computer executable code for caching content. According to embodiments, a client device may be connected to the internet or other distributed data network through a gateway network.

In the event a match is found, a routing logic, mechanism, circuitry or module may replace the content source server with the cache as the source of content being routed to the client device. In the event the comparison does not produce a match, as content enters the network a caching routine running on processing circuitry associated with the gateway network may passively cache the requested content while routing the content to the client device.
