CONTENT MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a first network point of presence associated with a content delivery network service provider, wherein the first network point of presence comprises at least one computing device that;
obtains a resource request from a first client computing device;
associates the first client computing device with a first cluster of client computing devices;
monitors resource requests from the first cluster for anticipating content needs of a second client computing device not included in the first cluster;
identifies content for the second client computing device as a function of the monitored resources requests for the first cluster; and
provides an identification of the identified content to the second client computing device without receiving any request from the second client computing device for the identified content; and
a client component for managing the identified content at the second client computing device in anticipation of requests by the second client computing device for the identified content.

Abstract
A system and method for management and processing of resource requests is provided. A content delivery network service provider determines a class associated with a set of client computing devices and monitors resources requests for the determined class. The content delivery network service provider then identifies at least one cache component for providing content to client computing devices as a function of the determined class. In other embodiments, instead of cache components, the content delivery network service provider identifies a second set of client computing devices as a function of the determined class for providing the content information.

16. A method comprising:
-
obtaining, at computing device of a content delivery network service provider, a resource request from a first client computing device; associating, at the computing device of the content delivery network service provider, the first client computing device with a first cluster of client computing devices; monitoring resource requests from the first cluster for anticipating content needs of a second client computing device not included in the first cluster; identifying content for the second client computing device as a function of the monitored resources requests for the first cluster; and providing an identification of the identified content to the second client computing device without receiving any request from the second client computing device for the identified content. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
