Abstract

A method and system for dynamic distributed data caching is presented. The method includes providing a cache community (402) comprising at least one peer (413). Each peer has an associated first content portion (511) indicating content to be cached by the respective peer. A client (404) may be allowed to join the cache community. A peer list (426) associated with the cache community is updated to include the client. The peer list indicates the peers in the cache community. A respective second content portion (511) is associated with each peer based on the addition of the client.
