Abstract
A method is described herein for facilitating data transmission in a network. A first data request is received at a first intermediate platform, the first data request indicating a source platform and a destination platform. The first data request is redirected by the first intermediate platform to a first cache platform associated with the intermediate platform. Data corresponding to the first data request is transmitted from the first cache platform to the source platform. The data indicates origination from the destination platform.
