Abstract

When a client requests content from a Content Delivery Network (or other system), a first portion of the content is transmitted to the client from a source capable of providing high performance to that client. When the client has a sufficient amount of the content to perform its function, then additional portions of the content can be transmitted to the client from a source that provides a lower performance to that client with a minimal or no performance penalty to the user of the client.
