Abstract
In an embodiment, content data delivery to a requesting device in a content delivery network (CDN) may be handled by a server device using a content cache of a computing device associated with the server device. The computing device may be a component of, local to, and/or directly connected to the server device. The server device receives a request to deliver the content data, determines that the location of the content data is in the content cache, and responsive to this determination, sends instructions to the computing device to provide the content data to the requesting device. In one embodiment, the server device may acquire and provide the content data to the computing device for storage in the content cache, before or in response to receiving the request to deliver the content data.
