Prioritized content transmission

摘要

Features are provided for facilitating prioritized transmission of content between content providers and content requesters. A content provider or intermediary entity obtains prioritization rules for transmitting network resources, such as resources embedded in or otherwise associated with web pages. The prioritization rules can be general rules applying to the transmission of all network resources or a large number thereof, or they can be customized for a specific network resource or small group thereof. The prioritization rules can be applied to the relative bandwidth utilization or data transfer rates of network resources. The relative bandwidth utilization or data transfer rates can be adjusted in response to network or user events.

1. A system for prioritizing transmission of network content to a client computing device, the system comprising:
a network computing component comprising one or more server computing devices, the network computing component comprising a browser component in communication, over a network connection, with a browser application of a client computing device, wherein the network computing component is operable to:
receive, from the client computing device, a request for a web page, wherein the web page comprises a plurality of embedded resources;retrieve the web page and the plurality of embedded resources from one or more content providers;determine that at least one of the web page or the plurality of embedded resources be processed, at least in part, in the browser component prior to transmission to the browser application of the client computing device;process, in the browser component, at least one of the plurality of embedded resources to obtain a browser processing result of the at least one of the plurality of embedded resources;obtain prioritization rules for transmitting the web page and the browser processing result of the at least one of the plurality of embedded resources, to the browser application of the client computing device, wherein the prioritization rules specify relative priorities at which at least one of the web page and the browser processing result should be transmitted to the client computing device; andtransmit, over the network connection, the web page and the browser processing result of the at least one of the plurality of embedded resources to the browser application of the client computing device according to the prioritization rules.
