1. A method for optimizing traffic volume in a communications network, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first file;
parsing a header portion of said file to find a reference header;
extracting an identifier of a second file in said reference header;
determining a nearest location to retrieve said second file based on said identifier; and
retrieving said second file based on said determining.

Abstract
An exemplary method for optimizing traffic volume in a communications network comprises the steps of receiving a first file, parsing a header portion of the file to find a reference header, extracting an identifier of a second file in the reference header, determining a nearest location to retrieve the second file based on the identifier, and retrieving the second file based on the determining. In one embodiment, the extracting step includes the step of determining a tag associated with the reference header; the tag including the identifier and an address to download the second file.

4. A method for optimizing traffic volume in a communication network, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first file having a first identifier;
generating a tag for said first file based on said first identifier;
embedding said tag in a second file;
creating an association to said tag in a reference header of said second file;
assigning a second identifier to said second file; and
sending said second file. - View Dependent Claims (5)

6. A method for optimizing traffic volume in a communication network, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first file;
parsing a header portion of said first file for a reference header;
extracting an identifier to a second file based on said reference header;
examining a local cache for a copy of said second file; and
updating said reference header to include an address to said local cache if said copy of said second file is in said local cache. - View Dependent Claims (7)
