  • a processor configured to;

    receive at a first node of a plurality of nodes a first request for data associated with a first file;

    receive at the first node a second request for data associated with the first file;

    determine that a third node should have an instance of the first file;

    cause the third node to have the instance of the first file; and

    receive an indication that the third node has received the instance of the first file from a sending node, wherein in response to the indication, the first file is demoted at the sending node to a cached copy and an association to the third node is generated at the sending node to cause the sending node to redirect a subsequent request associated with the first file received at the sending node to the third node; and
