Abstract
A system and method for distributing content in an adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming network. In one embodiment, an origin server receives an initial content request from a client device for a particular content, the client device operative with an ABR streaming media player. Depending on the information received in the initial content request, a local cache proximate to the client device requesting the particular content is located. The requested is then pushed to the local cache, whereupon a response message is generated to the client device, responsive to the initial content request, the response message including location information of the particular content with respect to the local cache.
