Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for virtualized proxy services are disclosed herein. Specifically, on one embodiment, a virtual proxy may be implemented in a virtual machine host. The virtual proxy may reside within a dedicated or shared virtual partition and may include a set of access restrictions. In one embodiment, a network including virtual machine hosts having virtual proxies may also provide additional peer-to-peer services. More specifically, a virtual proxy on a virtual host may be configured to broadcast/multicast content requests to other virtual hosts on the network prior to accessing the content from a remote location. If the content has previously been downloaded by another virtual host on the network, the virtual proxy on the requesting host may copy the content from the peer virtual host, instead of downloading the content from the remote location again. A variety of security measures may be implemented in one embodiment to ensure data integrity.
