Method and system to improve the turnaround time for providing upgrades

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for providing upgrades, the method comprising:

• identifying a plurality of upgrade requests sent by a plurality of client devices;
• identifying that the plurality of upgrade requests are each for a same upgrade file;
• grouping, based on the identifying, the plurality of upgrade requests;
• logically dividing data associated with the same upgrade file into a plurality of logical data portions, wherein the plurality of logical data portions together form the same upgrade file;
• identifying a plurality of upgrade nodes, wherein each one of the plurality of upgrade nodes comprises at least one of the plurality of logical data portions;
• and
• initiating, based on grouping the plurality of upgrade requests, a multicast transmission of the plurality of logical data portions from the plurality of upgrade nodes to the plurality of client devices.

An upgrade monitoring system for providing upgrades, comprising:

• a processor programmed to:
• identify a plurality of upgrade requests sent by a plurality of client devices;
• identify that the plurality of upgrade requests are each for a same upgrade file;
• group, based on the identifying, the plurality of upgrade requests;
• logically divide data associated with the same upgrade file into a plurality of logical data portions, wherein the plurality of logical data portions together form the same upgrade file;
• identify a plurality of upgrade nodes, wherein each one of the plurality of upgrade nodes comprises at least one of the plurality of logical data portions;
• and
• initiate, based on grouping the plurality of upgrade requests, a multicast transmission of the plurality of logical data portions from the plurality of upgrade nodes to the plurality of client devices.
