Abstract

See full text

Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for improving utilization of the communications system through various “deltacasting” techniques for handling content sets (e.g., feeds or websites). In some embodiments, within a client-server context, content sets are anticipatorily pre-positioned in client dictionaries using multicasting techniques to share forward link capacity. Pre-positioning determinations are made according to byte-level data, set-level metadata, and/or user preferences. In some embodiments, when locally stored information from the content sets is requested by a user, deltacasting techniques are used to generate fingerprints for use in identifying and exploiting multicasting and/or other opportunities for increased utilization of links of the communications system.
