Abstract
A dynamically reconfigurable intelligent content-based network includes a plurality of network users, a plurality of content providers responsive to requests from the network users, and a plurality of communication nodes, a subset of which are interconnected between each network user and each content provider. The network further includes a content manager that configures each communication node for communication within one of several content cells. Each content cell is associated with a content type, and formed according to data traffic of each content type, and network performance parameters. The content manager continually monitors the network traffic over each content cell to dynamically reconfigure the size of each cell, and subcells within each cell, for optimized performance and revenue generation.
