CACHING IN A MOBILE NETWORK

摘要

Systems and methods for providing data caching within a mobile access network include deploying data cache(s) in association with one or more network nodes configured to manage communications between the mobile access network and external data networks. Upon a content provider network receives a data request from a client device via the mobile access network, the content provider network can determine whether the requested data is cached in one of the network nodes managing communications with the content provider network. If a network node is determined, the content provider network can redirect the client device to the determined network node. The client device can then request the data from the determined network node. The network node can determine a caching server storing the requested data and redirecting the client device to the caching server.
