Abstract

A computerized method for providing live content from a service delivery apparatus (SDA), the method comprises receiving a request from a user node (UN) for content, the request comprising a content identification (CID) and a content source (CS). The content of the CID is acquired to store in a fast access memory of the SDA upon determining that the content of the CID needs to be acquired to the SDA, and that the CS is a provider of live content. A redirect instruction is sent to the UN to redirect the request from the CS to the SDA. The content of the CID is sent to the UN from the fast access memory of the SDA.
