Abstract
A network device transmits, to a cache located proximate to the network device, instructions to store content in the cache. The cache stores the content based on the instructions. The network device further receives a request for the content from a mobile communication device; determines, based on the request, that the content is stored in the local cache; and retrieves the content from the local cache. The network device also creates packets based on the retrieved content, and transmits the packets to the mobile communication device.
