Abstract
According to one aspect, a method includes obtaining a packet at a network endpoint from a client via a first segment. The packet has a segment routing header that includes a list of addresses attached to a chunk entry, and is configured to identify at least a first chunk requested by the client. The method also includes identifying, at the network endpoint, the at least first chunk using the packet, and determining at the network endpoint if the network endpoint has the first chunk. If it is determined that the network endpoint has the first chunk, the first chunk is provided from the network endpoint to the client. Alternatively, if it is determined that the network endpoint does not have the first chunk, the packet is provided to a second segment.
