Abstract
Systems and methods for fault tolerant content delivery. A request is received from a user for customized content on the network, the request for customized content comprising an identifier for the content and identification information. The request is forwarded from the user for the customized content over the network. Generic content corresponding to the customized content is stored in a cache for future use. The generic content is sent to the user if no customized content is received in response to the forwarded request from the user.
Claims20
A method implemented on a machine having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a network for fault tolerant content delivery, comprising:
- receiving a request from a user for customized content on the network, the request for customized content comprising an identifier for the content and identification information;
- forwarding the request from the user for the customized content over the network;
- storing generic content corresponding to the customized content in a cache for future use;
- and
- sending the generic content as a response to the request if no customized content is received in response to the forwarded request from the user.
A method implemented on a machine having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a first network for fault tolerant content delivery, comprising:
- receiving a request from a user for customized content via the first network, the request for customized content comprising an identifier for the content and identification information;
- forwarding the request from the user for the customized content via a second network;
- storing generic content corresponding to the customized content in a cache for future use;
- and
- sending the generic content as a response to the request if no customized content is received from the second network in response to the forwarded request for the customized content.
A machine-readable tangible and non-transitory medium having information recorded thereon, wherein the information, when read by a machine, causes the machine to perform a fault tolerant content delivery method, the method compromising:
- receiving, by a first server, a request from a user for customized content on a network, the request for customized content comprising an identifier for the content and identification information;
- forwarding the request from the user for the customized content to a second server on the network;
- and
- storing, by the first server, generic content corresponding to the customized content in a cache for future use;
- and
- sending the generic content as a response to the request if no customized content is received in response to the forwarded request.
A system for reliable content delivery comprising:
- a receiver configured for receiving a request from a user, over a network for customized content;
- a cache configured for storing a first set of generic content;
- a cached content determining unit configured for determining whether generic content corresponding to the requested customized content is a part of the first set of generic content;
- and
- a content delivery unit configured for transmitting content to the user, wherein the content transmitted to the user corresponds to the generic content corresponding to the requested customized content if no customized content is received and the generic content corresponding to the requested customized content is cached in the cache.
