A method for providing live content from a service delivery apparatus (SDA) is presented. The method includes identifying by the SDA a live content, wherein the live content includes a content identification (CID) and is provided by a content source (CS); acquiring the live content designated by the CID to store in a fast access memory of the SDA, wherein the SDA includes the fast access memory and a slow access storage; providing the live content from the fast access memory to a user node (UN) in response to receiving a request for the live content, the request comprising at least the CID.

System and method for live service content handling with content storing servers caching popular content therein

A computerized method of delivering popular content of a service delivery apparatus (SDA) in an asymmetrical network topology. The method comprises receiving a first acquisition request for content from a user node (UN) over an upstream data link, the request comprising at least a content identification (CID). An instruction is sent to the UN to redirect content requests to the SDA. A second acquisition request is sent from the SDA to a content source (CS) for the content requested by the first acquisition request, upon determination that the downstream data link between the UN and the CS is inaccessible to the SDA, the request including at least the CID. The content is received by the SDA from the CS. The received content from the SDA is sent to the UN.

System and method for caching popular content respective of a content strong server in an asymmetrical routing topology

A computerized method for providing live content from a service delivery apparatus (SDA), the method comprises receiving a request from a user node (UN) for content, the request comprising a content identification (CID) and a content source (CS). The content of the CID is acquired to store in a fast access memory of the SDA upon determining that the content of the CID needs to be acquired to the SDA, and that the CS is a provider of live content. A redirect instruction is sent to the UN to redirect the request from the CS to the SDA. The content of the CID is sent to the UN from the fast access memory of the SDA.
