Abstract: In the described embodiments, local caching servers (LCSs) are configured to cache content so that the content can be acquired by client electronic devices that are located on local area networks (LANs) with the LCSs. In some embodiments, to enable the acquisition of the cached content, a client electronic device sends, to a registration server, a request for identifiers for LCSs that are located on a LAN with the client electronic device. The request includes one or more “listen ranges,” each of which includes an indication of client electronic devices for which a corresponding LCS is to provide content. The registration server uses the listen ranges to select one or more LCSs, and returns identifiers for the one or more LCSs to the client electronic device. Using the one or more identifiers, the client electronic device acquires the content from an LCS via the LAN.

Abstract translation: 在所描述的实施例中，本地缓存服务器（LCS）被配置为缓存内容，使得可以通过位于具有LCS的局域网（LAN）上的客户端电子设备来获取内容。 在一些实施例中，为了能够获取高速缓存的内容，客户端电子设备向注册服务器发送与客户端电子设备位于LAN上的LCS的标识符的请求。 请求包括一个或多个“监听范围”，每个监听范围包括对应LCS提供内容的客户端电子设备的指示。 注册服务器使用侦听范围来选择一个或多个LCS，并且向客户端电子设备返回一个或多个LCS的标识符。 使用一个或多个标识符，客户端电子设备经由LAN从LCS获取内容。
