Abstract:
1. For a first data network that provides users with access to data from a second external data network, a computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a request that originates from a user operating within the first data network, the request identifying requested content and a source for the requested content, wherein the source is accessible from the second external data network; determining utilization of the first data network; modifying said request when utilization of the first data network exceeds a specified level; and passing said request to the second external data network for delivery to the source, wherein the source provides a first encoding of the requested content in response to an unmodified request and a second encoding of the requested content in response to a modified request, wherein the first encoding utilizes more resources of the first data network than the second encoding for delivering said content to the user.
