Abstract
In some embodiments, a method receives a time period in which video files will be delivered through a plurality of nodes. The method determines a plurality of user accounts that may use a video delivery system to deliver the video files in the time period; generates probabilities of which nodes may be used for each of the plurality of user accounts in the time period; and generates probabilities of which video files may be accessed by each of the plurality of user accounts. A list of video files is generated for a node based on the probabilities of which video files may be accessed and the probabilities of which nodes may be used for each of the plurality of user accounts. The method causes at least a portion of the list of video files for the node to be stored on the node.
