Technique for communication between networks for distributing digital contents

摘要

A method is provided for communication, which is implemented by an interfacing device of a server of a first network for distributing digital content. The method includes: receiving a content ingestion request emitted by a device of a second network for distributing content, with a view to storage of the content in the second distribution network; and when the first distribution network is not able to respond to the request, dispatching an enquiry destined for at least one third network for distributing content, requesting a transfer of the content to the second distribution network. The first distribution network delegates the transfer of the content. The third distribution network then transfers the digital content to the second content distribution network.

1. A method of communication implemented by an interfacing device of a server of a first content distribution network, said method comprising the following steps:
receiving by the interfacing device a provision request corresponding to a content ingestion request transmitted by a device of a second content distribution network interconnected through a peering agreement with the first content distribution network, the content ingestion being a first storage of this content in the second content distribution network, with a view to storing the content in the second distribution network; and if said first content distribution network is not able to respond to the provision request, dispatching from the interfacing device the provision request and a piece of information relating to delegation by the first content distribution network to at least one third content distribution network, interconnected through a peering agreement with the first content distribution network but not interconnected through a peering agreement with the second content distribution network.
