Abstract

A method for promoting distribution of content from a content source to a client computer via a content distribution system. The method includes associating a content source outside of the content distribution system with a transfer node inside the content distribution system. The association betwee n the content source and the transfer node is indicated to a client computer. When the client computer receives a request for content from the content source, the request is redirected to the associated transfer node. Thus, the associated transfer node fulfills the request.

Claims (21)

1. A method for promoting distribution of content objects from a content object source to a client computer via a content distribution system, the method comprising:
associating a first content object source with a first transfer node;
indicating the first content object source and first transfer node to the client computer;
providing a content object request to the client computer, the content object request indicating a requested content object source;~
fulfilling the content object request from the transfer node, wherein:
(1) the requested content object source is the same as the associated content object source, and (2) whereby, the content object request is fulfilled transparent to the requested content object source.
2. The method for promoting distribution of content objects from a content object source to a client computer via a content distribution system, according to claim 1, the method further comprising:
comparing the requested content object source with the associated content object source to determine if they are the same content object source.
3. The method for promoting distribution of content objects from a content object source to a client computer via a content distribution system, according to claim 1, wherein:
the fulfilling the content object request comprises a request by the transfer node to the content object source.
4. The method for promoting distribution of content objects from a content object source to a client computer via a content distribution system, according to claim 1, wherein:
the indicating the associated content object source and transfer node to the client computer comprises indicating a domain name of the content object source.
5. The method for promoting distribution of content objects from a content object source to a client computer via a content distribution system, according to claim 1, wherein:
the indicating the associated content object source and transfer node to the client computer comprises indicating,an IP address of the content object source.
6. The method for promoting distribution of content objects from a content object source to a client computer via a content distribution system, according to claim 1, wherein:
the indicating the associated content object source and transfer node to the client computer comprises indicating a directory name of the content object source.
7. The method for promoting distribution of content objects from a content object source to a client computer via a content distribution system, according to claim 1, wherein:
the indicating the associated content object source and transfer node to the client computer is done at the request of the client computer.
8. The method for promoting distribution of content objects from a content object source to a client computer via a content distribution system, according to claim 1, wherein:
the associating the content object source with a transfer node comprises maintaining a list of transfer nodes and associated content object sources.
9. A method for automatically distributing a requested content object to a client computer on a content distribution system, the method comprising:
providing a content object request to the client computer, the request identifying a requested content object source;
providing an identifier to the client computer, the identifier identifying a transfer node;
determining if the transfer node is associated with the requested content object source; and fulfilling the content object request by accessing the transfer node.
10. The method for automatically distributing a requested content object to a client computer on a content distribution system, according to claim 9, wherein the providing the identifier to the client computer further comprises:
providing a plurality of identifiers to the client computer.
11. The method for automatically distributing a requested content object to a client computer on a content distribution system, according to claim 10, wherein the plurality of identifiers comprises domain names for a plurality of content object sources.
12. The method for automatically distributing a requested content object to a client computer on a content distribution system, according to claim 10, wherein the plurality of identifiers comprises IP addresses for a plurality of content object sources.
13. A method for automatically distributing a requested content object to a client computer on a content distribution system, according to claim 10, wherein the plurality of identifiers comprises domain names for a plurality of content object sources.
14. The method for automatically distributing a requested content object to a client computer on a content distribution system, according to claim 10, wherein:
the determining if the transfer node is associated with the content object source is done by examining the plurality of identifiers to determine if one of the plurality of identifiers matches the requested content object source;
15. A method for accessing a content object by a client computer from a content object source transparent to the content object source, the method comprising:
receiving a content object request, the content object request identifying a requested content object source;
providing an identifier to the client computer, the identifier identifying a transfer node and an associated content object source;
comparing the associated content object source to the requested content object source; and fulfilling the content object request by accessing the transfer node.
16. The method for accessing a content object by a client computer from a content object source transparent to the content object source, according to claim 15, wherein the providing an identifier to the client computer is done at the request of the client computer.
17. The method for accessing a content object by a client computer from a content object source transparent to the content object source, according to claim 16, wherein the fulfilling the content object request comprises a request by the transfer node to the requested content object source.
18. The method for accessing a content object by a client computer from a content object source transparent to the content object source, according to claim 17, wherein the providing an identifier to the client computer comprises providing a domain name of the associated content object source.
19. The method for accessing a content object by a client computer from a content object source transparent to the content object source, according to claim 17, wherein the transfer node stores a content object.
20. The method for accessing a content object by a client computer from a content object source transparent to the content object source, according to claim 17, wherein the providing an identifier to the client comprises providing a directory name of the associated content object source.
21. The method for accessing a content object by a client computer from a content object source transparent to the content object source, according to claim 17, wherein the providing an identifier to the client computer comprises providing an IP
address of the associated content object source.
