Abstract
Systems and methods for content delivery control in a cooperative delivery system are disclosed. A rules repository stores control parameters. A content delivery network is configured to receive a request for a content object from an end-user system; receive from the rules repository a control parameter where the control parameter provides information about delivery and/or caching the content object; insert a string into a uniform resource identifier (URI) or response header for the content object; and transmit the response to or through a terminal network. The terminal network receives the response; identifies the string; identifies the control parameter; and processes delivery or storage of the content object based on the control parameter.
