Abstract: Embodiments herein include methods and systems for use in delivering resources to a client device over a local network. An exemplary system comprises a plurality of caching devices operable to cache resources on behalf of a plurality of content providers, and a local caching device communicatively situated between an access network and the client device, wherein the access network is communicably situated between the plurality of caching devices and the local caching device. The local caching device is operable to retrieve a requested resource from at least one of the plurality of caching devices, deliver the requested resource to the client device over the local network, and store the requested resource for future requests by other client devices.

Abstract: An asymmetrical and dynamic routing system (ADRS) is provided to enable the dynamic adjustment of the bandwidth capacity of two or more network devices exchanging data. The two or more network devices monitor their current bandwidth demand between themselves and others in a network and a first network device can transmit bandwidth request to a second network device when the first network device reaches transmission bandwidth capacity. Each network device is further configured with additional transmit and receive ports and can be selectively enabled in response to a bandwidth request from other network devices. Each network device is further configured to generate control signals that are sent to optical mirrors to re-direct data signals to or from the one or more enabled additional transmit and receive ports.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种不对称和动态路由系统（ADRS），可以动态调整交换数据的两个或多个网络设备的带宽容量。 两个或多个网络设备在网络中监视他们自己与其他网络之间的当前带宽需求，并且当第一网络设备达到传输带宽容量时，第一网络设备可以向第二网络设备发送带宽请求。 每个网络设备还配置有附加的发送和接收端口，并且可以响应于来自其他网络设备的带宽请求而被选择性地启用。 每个网络设备还被配置为产生发送到光学镜的控制信号，以将数据信号重新引导到一个或多个启用的附加发送和接收端口。
