Abstract
Adaptive content load balancing is described. In an embodiment, client requests for media content are received and service node(s) are determined that can provide the requested media content to a client. Each client request is registered to correlate client sessions with requested media content provided from a service node, and a determination is made as to whether to replicate the requested media content for each received client request to optimize session capacity over the service node(s).
