Title: Distributed content caching mechanism using a network operator proxy
Inventor: LUNA MICHAEL
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2012-12-07
Abstract: Flexible and dynamic integration schemas of a traffic management system with various network operators for network traffic alleviation are disclosed. One embodiment includes a method of integration of content caching with a network operator for traffic alleviation in a wireless network, including detecting 2304, by an operator proxy of the network operator, a poll from an application on a mobile device which would have been served using a cache element from a local cache on the mobile device, after the cache element stored in the local cache has been invalidated 2302, and forwarding the poll from the application on the mobile device to a proxy server 2306a. Whether the poll is sent to a service provider of the application directly by the proxy serve 2310r, or by the proxy server through the operator proxy 2312, is configurable or reconfigurable. Possible system implementations and associated traffic flows are depicted in Figures 1A-1 to 1A-3. Some embodiments involve three network proxy entities: an operator proxy, a server-side proxy and a caching proxy server as well as a client-side local proxy. The local proxy on the mobile device may be native to the operating system of the mobile device. A cache element in the local cache may be invalidated when a proxy server remote from the mobile device detects2314 new or changed data at, or from, a service provider of the application and notifies 2316 the mobile device of the change.
