Abstract
A method and system for dynamic distributed data caching includes providing a cache community of peer members and a master member. A master member volunteers to leave the cache community upon which decision a peer member is selected to become the new master member. Each peer member has an associated first content portion indicating content to be cached by the respective peer. A client may be allowed to join the cache community. A peer list 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 is associated with each peer based on the addition of the client.
