Abstract

A network arrangement and method for using the same are described. In one embodiment, the network arrangement comprises: a plurality of access points that are part of one or more existing networks and communicate with each other to form a local area network (LAN) to transfer data between two or more of the plurality of access points using point-to-point links independent of their function in the one or more first existing networks, wherein each access point of the plurality of access points is associated with a cache to store content that may be forwarded to other access points in the plurality of access points, where at least one of the access points is responsive to a request from an application being run on a client device to provide the content stored in one or more caches of access points in the LAN to the client device, the content being sent by the at least one access point through a wireless connection.
