Abstract

Media content coded using scalable coding techniques may be cached among a group of cache devices. Layered segments of the media content may be pre-loaded onto the cache devices, which may be located throughout a content distribution network, including a home network. The caching location of the media content may be determined based on multiple factors including a content preference associated with the group of cache devices and device capabilities. A cache controller may manage the caching of the media content.
