Abstract
The various embodiments described herein include methods and/or systems for content delivery based on network congestion. In one aspect, a method of congestion-based content delivery includes receiving, via a network, a first request for content from a client device. The method also includes prioritizing a first type of content item over one or more other types of content items based, at least in part, on a degree of congestion of the network. The method further includes, in response to the first request, providing to the client device one or more content items of the first type in accordance with the prioritizing.
