Abstract
A method and system for preemptive caching across content delivery networks. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail proactively seeding (or deploying) resources to edge nodes of a content delivery network based on prospective information sources such as, for example, travel itineraries, map route plans, calendar appointments, etc. Resource delivery deadlines and destinations may be derived from these prospective information sources in order to preemptively direct and cache resources near these resource delivery destinations (i.e., geo-locations) prior to or by the expected times (i.e., future point-in-times) during which a resource requestor and/or consumer is anticipated to be positioned at or within proximity to the resource delivery destinations. Through proactive seeding of resources, which may reflect content or service functionalities, reduced latency may be observed at least with respect to requesting the resources from the content delivery network.
