  • Internet content delivery network
    Patent number: 6654807
    Abstract: Resource requests made by clients of origin servers in a network are intercepted by reflector mechanisms and selectively reflected to other servers called repeaters. The reflectors select a best repeater from a set of possible repeaters and redirect the client to the selected best repeater. The client then makes the request of the selected best repeater. The resource is possibly rewritten to replace at least some of the resource identifiers contained therein with modified resource identifiers designating the repeater instead of the origin server.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2001
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2003
    Assignee: Cable & Wireless Internet Services, Inc.
