摘要： Delivering content in a content delivery network is disclosed. A request to retrieve digital content is received from a first client. A second client known to have the digital content and known to be capable of serving the content at the time of the request is selected. The second client is chosen from a plurality of clients in one or more service provider networks. The service provider networks have granted permission to the content delivery network to use the second client's uplink bandwidth. The second client is instructed to serve the digital content to the first client in a data transfer. Information associated with the data transfer event is recorded for use in financial settlement between the content delivery network with the network service provider whose uplink bandwidth was utilized by the second client.

摘要： Generating streaming decisions at one or more remote servers on behalf of a local client is disclosed. An indication of a content request, multi-dimensional client information, and local state information are received from a client device. A record specific to the client device is generated, in a data store, using the received local state information. The data store includes a plurality of records corresponding to respective different client devices. A set of instructions usable by the client device to obtain and play content is determined based at least in part the local state information received from the client device. The determined set of instructions is transmitted to the client device.
