Patent ID: 8316085

Claim:
A contents delivery system using object redirection, said system comprising: a plurality of global server load balancing (GSLB) switches including at least first and second GSLB switches; at least one host server for receiving and storing an object embedded in a page; and a web server for storing the page and the object, transmitting the object to the at least one host server such that the at least one host server stores the object, transmitting the page, without the object, to a client at a request of the client, and when the client requests the web server to provide the object embedding a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) corresponding to the first GSLB switch as the position of the object stored in the at least one host server in a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) redirection message, and transmitting the HTTP redirection message including the URL to the client; wherein said first GSLB switch is arranged for transmitting the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the second GSLB switch to a local Domain Name System (DNS) server of the client when said first GSLB switch receives an inquiry from the local DNS server about the IP address of a host server storing the object and when data traffic of said first GSLB switch exceeds a critical value; and said second GSLB switch is arranged for transmitting, to the client who has received the redirection message via the DNS server, the IP address of a specific host server which will transmit the object.
