Abstract

A method of managing network resources in a terminating node of an information delivery network can include receiving an inbound data container comprising a data item. The data container can specify a size of the data item and global positioning information for an originating node in the information delivery network. Global positioning information can be determined for the terminating node. Accordingly, the inbound data container can be analyzed by comparing the global positioning information for the originating node and the terminating node.
