Partitioned serialized caching and delivery of large files
Abstract:
Some embodiments provide partitioned serialized caching and delivery of large sized content and files. Some embodiments partition requests for large sized content into segment requests with each segment request identifying a different byte range of the requested content. Each segment request is hashed to identify a particular server from a set of servers tasked with caching and delivering a different segment of the requested content. In this manner, no single server caches or delivers the entirety of large sized content. The segment requests are distributed serially across the set of servers so that the segments are passed in order, wherein the serial distribution involves handing-off the requesting user's connection serially to each server of the set of server in the order with which the set of servers deliver the content segments.
