  • Patent number: 7450580
    Abstract: An application-layer multicast (ALM) system allowing high-speed ALM with precise routing control and simplified configuration. The routing control and data copying are separately performed with different hardware circuits: routing controller; and data copying device. The routing control is performed on the CPU of a computer, whereas the data copying is performed on a dedicated hardware circuit. This separate structure is employed in each intermediate node in the ALM network. The data copying device communicates with the routing controller within the same segment to manage the content data to be relayed by the intermediate system using a management ID uniquely assigned to the content data within the segment.

  • Publication number: 20040010562
    Abstract: A shared cache server which is capable of being shared among groups in a common network in which a plurality of groups is placed in a virtually partitioned manner. A storage device stores contents in each of a plurality of storage areas corresponding to a plurality of groups. Virtual interfaces are placed in a manner so as to correspond to a plurality of virtual networks. An address converting function section, when receiving a packet requiring for contents through the virtual interface from a client, converts part of an IP (Internet Protocol) of the packet to an internal address corresponding to the virtual interface. A cache function section, based on the internal address converted by the address converting function section, reads contents of a corresponding group from a storage area of the storage device.
