TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN EDGE CACHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18147751 titled 'TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN EDGE CACHING

Simplified Explanation: The patent application discusses a system for improved traffic management in edge caching during emergencies.

Key Features and Innovation:

Edge device receives a map from a target system during an emergency trigger.
The map represents content in the data volume of the target system.
The edge device identifies blocks in its cache different from the content based on the map.
The identified blocks are sent back to the target system in response to the emergency trigger.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in emergency response systems, content delivery networks, and edge computing environments.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently managing traffic in edge caching systems during emergencies.

Benefits:

Improved traffic management during emergencies.
Enhanced responsiveness in edge caching systems.
Efficient utilization of cache resources.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in disaster management systems, real-time content delivery platforms, and network infrastructure for improved performance during emergencies.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior research on edge caching, emergency response systems, and content delivery networks for related information.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in edge computing, emergency response technologies, and content delivery networks for relevant research.

Questions about Traffic Management in Edge Caching: 1. What are the key challenges in managing traffic in edge caching systems during emergencies? 2. How does this technology improve the efficiency of traffic management in edge caching systems during emergencies?

Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments relate improved traffic management in edge caching. Responsive to an emergency trigger, an edge device receives a map from a target system, the edge device including a cache having a plurality of blocks, where the map is representative of content in a data volume of the target system. The edge device determines at least one block of the plurality of blocks in the cache different from the content in the data volume based on the map. The edge device sends the at least one block in the cache to the target system, responsive to the emergency trigger.
