In some implementations, a device may receive file location information identifying a file to be transferred to a user device associated with the first network provider. The file location information identifies a domain name associated with a second network provider. The device may provide, based on the file location information, a first request to obtain one or more first records. The one or more first records identify a first supplemental content device. The device may provide, based on the one or more first records, a second request to obtain one or more second records. The one or more second records identify a second supplemental content device. The device may obtain, based on the one or more second records, the file from the second supplemental content device, and provide the file to the user device.

Systems and methods for obtaining a file via analysis of file location records

In some implementations, a device may receive file location information identifying a file to be transferred to a user device associated with the first network provider, wherein the file location information identifies a domain name associated with a second network provider. The device may provide, based on the file location information, a request to obtain one or more records associated with the domain name. The device may receive the one or more records based on the request. The device may selectively obtain, based on the one or more records, the file from a first content device associated with the second network provider or from a second content device associated with a third-party provider. The device may provide the file to the user device.

Systems and methods for selectively obtaining a file via a direct file transfer or an indirect file transfer

A network device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a file transfer request that includes at least a network location corresponding to a file to be transferred; determine whether the network location is internal or external to a network to which the network device belongs; modify the network location when it is determined that the network location included in the file transfer request is external to the network; and retrieve the file to be transferred using the modified network location.

Inter-provider file transfer system and method

A network device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive, from a first service provider, a file transfer request that includes at least a network location corresponding to a file to be transferred; determine whether the network location is internal or external to a second service provider network to which the network device belongs; modify the network location when it is determined that the network location included in the file transfer request is external to the second service provider network; retrieve the file to be transferred using the modified network location; and forward the retrieved file to a terminating user equipment (UE) device.
