Abstract:
Described herein are enhancements for operating cache nodes in a content delivery network to synchronize edge dictionary configurations. In at least one implementation, a cache node of a content delivery network receives a content request from an end user device. In response to the request, the cache node identifies a modification to a key-value pair of an edge dictionary, wherein the edge dictionary comprises a reference key-value function for a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) accelerator service. The method further provides generating a modified version of the edge dictionary based on the modification, and transferring a notification of the modification to at least one other cache node in the content delivery network.
