Abstract

A broadband communication system with improved latency is disclosed. The system employs distributed caching techniques to assemble data objects at locations proximate to a source to avoid latency over delayed links. The assembled data objects are then multicast to one or more remote terminals in response to a request for the objects, thus reducing unnecessary data flow across the satellite link.
