Abstract
Techniques for using a satellite as a part of a content delivery network are described. For example, in some instances a satellite is to receive a request for a resource hosted by the content delivery network, determine that the request for the resource cannot be served by the satellite, determine a first entity to ask for the resource, send a secondary request for the resource to the determined first entity, receive the resource from the determined first entity, respond, to a user of the content delivery network, to the request using the received resource for the resource, and respond to a subsequent request using the cached received resource.
