Execution of per-user functions at cache nodes

Abstract:

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for caching tracking elements of network content are provided herein. In one example, a method of operating a cache node of a content delivery network that caches content for delivery to end user devices is provided. The method includes receiving content requests from an end user device for content cached by the cache node and responsively providing the content for delivery to the end user device, processing the content requests to determine properties related to the end user device based at least on the content requests, and executing a per-user function in the cache node for the end user device based at least on the properties related to the end user device.
