Abstract
Network Distributed Caches (“NDCs”) ( ) permit accessing a named dataset stored at an NDC server terminator site ( ) in response to a request submitted to an NDC client terminator site ( ) by a client workstation ( ). In accessing the dataset, the NDCs ( ) form an NDC data conduit ( ) that provides an active virtual circuit (“AVC”) from the NDC client terminator site ( ) through intermediate NDC sites ( B, A) to the NDC server terminator site ( ). Through the AVC provided by the conduit ( ), the NDC sites ( A and B) project an image of the requested portion of the named dataset into the NDC client terminator site ( ). The client workstation ( ) overwrites at least a portion of an image of a dataset that is projected into the NDC client terminator site ( ) from the NDC server terminator site ( ). Only overwritten portions of the projected image are rewritten into to the dataset stored at the NDC server terminator site ( ).
