  • Method and apparatus for caching subscribed and non-subscribed content in a network data processing system
    Patent number: 7028089
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for managing data in a network data processing system. A packet containing data associated with content is received. A determination is made as to whether the packet is enabled for content distribution by examining the data packet. Responsive to the packet being enabled for content distribution, the content is distributed in response to a request for the content without requiring a validity check. If the packet is not enabled for content distribution, a validity check is performed on the content using control information contained within the header of the data packet.

  • Method and apparatus for minimizing inconsistency between data sources in a web content distribution system
    Patent number: 6938072
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer implemented instructions for minimizing inconsistency between a set of data sources in a data processing system. A first signal is sent indicating that new content is present for the set of data sources. The new content is transmitted to the set of data sources in which the new content is unavailable for distribution by the set of data sources until a second signal is received by the set of data sources. The second signal is sent to the set of data sources if an acknowledgment is received from all of the sets of data sources.
