Content and compute delivery platform using satellites

Abstract:

Techniques for using one or more satellites as a part of a content delivery network are described. For example, in some instances a satellite of a cluster of satellites is to receive a request for a resource hosted by the content delivery network; determine that the request for the resource cannot be served by the cluster of satellites; determine a first entity to ask for the resource; send a secondary request for the resource to the determined first entity; receive the resource from the determined first entity; and respond, to a user of the content delivery network, to the request using the received resource for the resource.
