Abstract
A network acceleration device simultaneously caches and intelligently serves different historical versions of stored network content. For example, the network acceleration device may receive one or more requests for original content; however, subsequent updates to the content may create varying versions of the content, e.g., a pre-update version and one or more post-update versions. Client devices that requested the content prior to the update receive the pre-update version from the network acceleration device. Client devices that requested content after the update receive the post-update version from the network device. Moreover, the network acceleration device facilitates the simultaneous delivery of the pre-update version and the post-update version without waiting for delivery of the pre-update version to be complete. Thus, the network acceleration device may facilitate decreased download times by seamlessly and transparently providing both versions of the content simultaneously.
