Abstract
An extension to a file delivery protocol which permits the signaling of cache control information to a receiving device. Various embodiments of the present invention permit a server or other sending device to signal instructions regarding cache control to a receiving device using the file delivery protocol. This signaling may include information such as whether the receiving device should cache a file, how long the file should be cached for, and/or a cache priority assignment for the file. Various embodiments of the present invention may be particularly useful in the transmission of rich media content, where some content may be sent over RTP while other information is transmitted via the file delivery protocol.
