Abstract

An approach is provided for segmenting a cache into one or more cache segments and synchronizing the cache segments. An cache platform causes, at least in part, a segmentation of at least one cache into one or more cache segments. The cache platform further determines that at least one cache segment of the one or more cache segments is invalid. The cache platform also causes, at least in part, a synchronization of the at least one cache segment. The approach allows for a dynamic optimization of the synchronization of the cache segments based on one or more characteristics associated with the devices and/or the connection associated with the cache synchronization.
