Abstract: A first device may include a pod and a processor. The processor may be configured to: receive a request, from a second device, to transfer a content item to the second device; and determine whether the content item can be transferred from the pod to the second device using a content caching container (CCC). When the processor determines that the content item cannot be transferred from the pod, the processor may be further configured to: send a reply, to the second device, indicating that the content item cannot be transferred from the pod to the second device; and enable caching the content item at the pod. When the processor determines that the content item can be transferred from the pod, the processor may be further configured to transfer the content item via a first CCC pm the pod to the second device.
