<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a distribution circuit capable of processing a number of content distribution requests by efficiently caching contents subjected to distribution from a back end side, a distribution apparatus and a distribution method.SOLUTION: The distribution circuit includes a receiving-time buffer control section, a data distribution section, a cache control section and a direct cache access section. The receiving-time buffer control section receives data of contents subjected to distribution and writes the received data into a buffer. The data distribution section reads the data of the contents out of the buffer and distributes the read data to a terminal device of an end user. The cache control section makes an instruction to write data of distributed contents stored in the buffer into a storage for storing contents and erases the data of the contents written into the storage from the buffer. The direct cache access section reads the data of contents of which the write is instructed from the cache control section, out of the buffer and writes the read data into the storage.</p> |
