Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for updating content stored in a cache residing at an internet service provider (ISP) location that includes receiving popularity data associated with a first plurality of content assets, where the popularity data indicate the popularity of each content asset in the first plurality of content assets across a user base that spans multiple geographic regions, generating a manifest that includes a second plurality of content assets based on the popularity data and a geographic location associated with the cache, where each content asset included in the manifest is determined to be popular among users proximate to the geographic location or users with preferences similar to users proximate to the geographic location, and transmitting the manifest to the cache, where the cache is configured to update one or more content assets stored in the cache based on the manifest.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method comprises receiving a first routing table of a first server computer; receiving a second routing table of a second server computer; receiving a request, from a client computer, for information about content servers that hold a media item title, wherein the request includes a client internet protocol address of the client computer; estimating that the first server computer is closer to the client computer than the second server computer is to the client computer based, at least in part, on the client internet protocol address, the first routing table, and the second routing table; sending, to the client computer, a first address to the client computer based, at least in part, on estimating that the first server computer is closer to the client computer than the second server computer, wherein the first address identifies the media item title stored on the first server computer.
