A system and method for off-loading the serving of repetitive content by a streaming server are presented. The method includes establishing a plurality of unicast transport-layer sockets with a plurality of end-user devices; receiving a plurality of requests for a multimedia content from the plurality of end-user devices, wherein the plurality of requests are session-layer requests; determining if the received plurality of requests are for a repetitive content; and upon determination that the received plurality of requests are for the repetitive content: opening a single socket with a streaming application of at least one streaming server; retrieving a single copy of the requested multimedia content from the streaming application over the single socket; and streaming the retrieved single copy to the plurality of end-user devices through their respective plurality of unicast transport-layer sockets.

System and method for efficient delivery of repetitive multimedia content

A non-transitory computer readable medium, a system and a method for streaming, the method may include: intercepting, by a redirector, a request from a streaming application, to receive metadata indicative of location of multiple video file segments; sending to the streaming application metadata that points to locations of cached video file segments within a single streaming cache or multiple streaming caches and points to locations outside the streaming cache of other video file segments that are not cached; receiving, by the streaming cache, a request from the streaming application to receive a cached video file segment; sending from the streaming cache the cached video file segment.

System and method for efficient caching and delivery of adaptive bitrate streaming

A system, a method and a computer program product for transmission over a network, the method includes: receiving, by an intermediate system coupled to the network, a portion of a data structure that is aimed to a recipient computer; generating a stamp that is responsive to a content of a segment of the data structure and is indifferent to transfer information about a transmission of the data structure; wherein the portion may include the segment or equals the segment; determining, by the intermediate system, whether to cache the portion, in response to at least a comparison between the stamp and stamps of cached portions of data structures; selectively caching the portion in response to the determination; and transmitting to the recipient computer either one of the portion of the transmitted data structure and a cached version of the portion of the transmitted data structure.
