A method and apparatus for managing content storage subsystems in a communications network are disclosed. The communications network is equipped with a plurality of content storage subsystems. The content storage subsystems store local copies of content to facilitate the delivery and distribution of the content to wireless transmit/receive units, WTRUs. The network, which is equipped with a proxy server and an entry server, receives requests for content or general-purpose data referencing content and determines whether the content is stored in the storage subsystems. In addition, the network also performs content ingestion in order to store copies of the content in the storage subsystems and content modification in order to move content from one storage location to another to achieve optimal content storage and distribution. |
