Abstract: The distribution network comprising a plurality of caching nodes and wherein the web content had been statically identified as an uncacheable content and originated on an origin-server and wherein the method establishes a time to live, TTL, period value to said uncacheable content based on users requests and responds to said users requests by sending to at least to one CDN user said uncacheable content within said TTL period value. Each one of said plurality of caching nodes in said distribution network including a content caching manager and a pseudo-dynamic content TTL predictor and performing the following steps: a) contacting each one of said plurality of nodes with a centralized repository, in order to download the configuration file of a plurality of said CDN users.

Abstract: A distributed health-check method for web caching in a telecommunication network, wherein a plurality of web caching nodes are coordinated to monitor a set of origin servers where web content is generated. The method includes associating to each user of the telecommunication network requesting the web content buckets as logical containers for holding the web content requested; generating a list of users of the telecommunication network requesting the web content; and performing the plurality of web caching nodes a number of health-checks to the set of origin servers to download the requested web content. A filtering of the set of origin servers is performed for grouping in different areas of interest and the number of health-checks are performed by a limited number of caching nodes receiving the web content requests. The limited number of caching nodes selected belonging to a specific area of interest of the set of origin servers monitoring them.

Abstract: Present invention refers to a method for processing a request received in a web cache. The method is characterized by: obtaining from said request a server domain; retrieving a configuration information associated to the server domain; obtaining a path from the request; retrieving a list of actions, from the configuration information, associated to the path; filtering actions to be executed before forwarding the request to an origin server; executing filtered actions to be executed before forwarding the request to an origin server and forwarding said request; receiving a response from the origin server in the web cache; filtering actions to be executed after obtaining the response from the origin server; executing filtered actions to be executed after obtaining the response from the origin server; and finally, building a response for the request.

Abstract: A mobile user terminal and method for activating/deactivating geopositioning devices in moving vehicles, wherein the detection of the geopositioning device located in a moving vehicle is based on data from low-energy consumption sensors provided by the mobile user terminal. If the mobile user terminal is located in the moving vehicle, at least one probe pattern related to a situation of the moving vehicle is identified and based on the identified probe pattern and data from low-energy consumption sensors, it is verified either that the situation corresponds to the mobile user terminal riding in the moving vehicle, and then the geopositioning device is activated, or that the mobile user terminal is stopped in the moving vehicle, and then the geopositioning device is deactivated. The steps of detecting and identifying the moving vehicle situation, performed by the mobile user terminal, use short-time and long-time probes.

Abstract: A method and system of storing and retrieving web content in a cache hard disk memory, in which read requests and write requests are separated in two different queues, and read requests are prioritized. This way, write requests are selectively delayed to favour read operations and improve user experience.

Abstract: The method comprises using a tracker for coordinating entities forming the infrastructure of the CDN, said tracker comprising a CDN layer comprising interfaces for the CDN entities and a network layer for providing network and communication services to the CDN layer. The tracker is designed to implement the method of the first aspect.
