<p>The downloading of content to a requesting client (A1, A2 and A3) through content distribution network consisting of edge servers occurs upon receiving a content request, a content server responses with a request-routing message that includes source data identifying the content and path data identifying a path through the network to a source of such content. Having the path information in request-routing message enables a requesting client to make the request to a particular edge server, which in turn can register the downloading request and access the content from an appropriate location, thereby obviating the frequent communication between the content server and edge servers on the path.</p> |
