Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for streaming of multimedia files over a network are described. A streaming delivery accelerator (SDA) receives content from a content provider and streams the receives content to a user when a quality metric exceeds a predetermined value. A similar quality metric applies to caching and storing the received content in the SDA' cache. The caching process can be iterative, with only content not previously retained in the SDA's cache being requested from and retransmitted by the content provider.
