`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention is related to Internet communication, and more particularly,
`
`to improving data communication speed and bandwidth efficiency on the Internet.
`
`BACKGROUNDOF THE INVENTION
`
`There are several
`
`trends in network and Internet usage, which tremendously
`
`increase the bandwidth that is being used on the Internet. One such trend is that more and
`
`more video is being viewed on demand on the Internet. Such viewing includes the viewing
`
`of both large and short video clips. In addition, regular shows and full-featured films may
`
`be viewed on the Internet. Another trend that is increasing the traffic on the Internet is that
`
`Websites (such as shopping portals, news portals, and social networks) are becoming
`
`global, meaning that the Web sites are serving people in many diverse places on the globe,
`
`and thus the data is traversing over longer stretches of the Internet,
`
`increasing the
`
`congestion.

`

`Attorney Docket No. 19459-6105P
`
`The increase in bandwidth consumption has created several major problems, a few of
`
`which are described below:
`
`The problem for users — the current Internet bandwidth is not sufficient, and thus the effective
`
`‘speed’ experienced by users is slow;
`
`The problem for content owners — the tremendous amountof data being viewed by usersis
`
`costing large amounts of moncy in hosting and bandwidth costs; and
`
`The problem for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) — the growth in Internettraffic is requiring the
`
`ISPs to increase the infrastructure costs (communication lines, routers, ctc.) at tremendous
`
`financial cxpensc.
`
`The need for a new method of data transfer that is fast for the consumer, cheap for the
`
`content distributor and does not require infrastructure investment for ISPs, has become a major
`
`issue which is yet unsolved.
`
`There have been many attempts at making the Internet faster for the consumer and
`
`cheaper for the broadcaster. Each such attempt is lacking in some aspect to become a
`
`widespread, practical solution, or is a partial solution in that it solves only a subset of the major
`
`problems associated with the increase in Internet traffic. Most of the previous solutions require
`
`billions of dollars in capital investment for a comprehensive solution. Manyof these attempts are
`
`lacking in that muchof the content on the Internet has become dynamically created per the user
`
`and the session of the user (this is what used to be called the “Web2.0” trend). This may be seen
`
`on the Amazon Website and the Salesforce Website, for example, where mostof the page views
`
`on these Websites is tailored to the viewer, and is thus different for any two viewers. This
`
`dynamic information makesit impossible for most of the solutions offered to date to store the
`
`content and provideit to others sccking similar content.

`

`Attorney Docket No. 19459-6105P
`
`Onesolution that has been in use is called a “proxy”. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram
`
`providing an example of use of a proxy within a network 2. A proxy, or proxy server 4, 6, 8 is a
`
`device that is placed between one or moreclients, illustrated in FIG. 1 as client devices 10, 12,
`
`14, 16, 18, 20, that request data, via the Internet 22, and a Web server or Web servers 30, 32, 34
`
`from which they are requesting the data. The proxy server 4, 6, 8 requests the data from the Web
`
`servers 30, 32, 34 on their behalf, and caches the responses from the Webservers 30, 32, 34, to
`
`provide to other client devices that make similar requests. If the proxy server 4, 6, 8 is
`
`geographically close enough to the client devices 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and if the storage and
`
`bandwidth of the proxy server4, 6, 8 are large enough, the proxyserver4, 6, 8 will speed up the
`
`requests for the client devices 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 that it is serving.
`
`It should be noted, however, that to provide a comprehensive solution for Internet
`
`surfing, the proxy servers of FIG. 1 would need to be deployed at every point around the world
`
`wherethe Internet is being consumed, and the storage size of the proxy servers at each location
`
`would needto be near the size ofall the data stored anywhere on the Internet. The
`
`abovementioned would lead to massive costs that are impractical. In addition, these proxy
`
`solutions cannot deal well with dynamic data that is prevalent now on the Web.
`
`There have been commercial companies, such as Akamai, that have deployed such
`
`proxics locally around the world, and that are serving a select small group of sites on the
`
`Internet. If all sites on the Web were to be solved with such a solution, the capital investment
`
`would be in the range ofbillions of dollars. In addition, this type of solution docs not handle
`
`dynamic content.
`
`To create large distribution systems without the large hardware costs involved with a
`
`proxy solution, “peer-to-peer file sharing” solutions have been introduced, such as, for example,
`
`BitTorrent. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram providing an example of a peer-to-peerfile transfer
`
`network 50. In the network 50, files are stored on computers of consumers, referred to herein as

`
`client devices 60. Each consumercan serve up data to other consumers, via the Internet 62, thus
`
`taking the load of serving off of the distributors and saving them the associated costs, and
`
`providing the consumer multiple points from which to download the data, referred to herein as
`
`peers 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, thus increasing the speed of the download. However, each such peer-to-
`
`peer solution must have somesort of index by whichto find the required data. In typical peer-to-
`
`peerfile sharing systems, because the index is on a server 80, or distributed among several
`
`servers, the numberoffiles available in the system is not very large (otherwise, the server costs
`
`would be very large, or the lookup time would be very long).
`
`The peer-to-peer file sharing solution is acceptable in file sharing systems, because there
`
`are not that many mediafiles that are of interest to the mass (probably in the order of magnitude
`
`of millions of movies and songsthat are of interest). Storing and maintaining an index of
`
`millions of entries is practical technically and economically. However, if this system were to be
`
`used to serve the hundreds ofbillions offiles that are available on the Internet of today, the cost
`
`of storing and maintaining such an index would be again in the billions of dollars. In addition,
`
`these types of peer-to-peer file sharing systemsare not able to deal with dynamic HTTPdata.
`
`In conclusion, a system does not exist that enables fast transmission of most of the data
`
`on the Internet, that does not incur tremendouscosts, and/or that provides only a very partial
`
`solution to the problem of Internct traffic congestion. Thus, a herctofore unaddressed need exists
`
`in the industry to address the aforementioned dcficicncics and inadequacies.

`
`DETATLED DESCRIPTION
`
`The present system and mcthod provides for faster and more cfficient data
`
`communication within a communication nctwork. An cxample of such a communication nctwork
`
`100 is provided by the schematic diagram of FIG. 3. The network 100 of FIG. 3 contains
`
`multiple communication devices. Due to functionality provided by software stored. within each
`
`communication device, which may be the same in each communication device, each
`
`communication device may serve as a client, peer, or agent, depending upon requirements of the
`
`network 100, as is described in detail herein. It should be noted that a detailed description of a
`
`communication device is provided with regard to the description of FIG. 4.

`

`Attorney Docket No. 19459-6105P
`
`Returning to FIG. 3, the exemplary embodiment of the network 100 illustrates that one of
`
`the communication devices is functioning as a client 102. The client 102 is capable of
`
`communication with one or more peers 112, 114, 116 and one or more agents 122. For
`
`exemplary purposes, the network contains three peers and one agent, althoughit is noted that a
`
`client can communicate with any numberof agents and peers.
`
`The communication network 100 also contains a Web server 152. The Web server 152 is
`
`the server from which the client 102 1s requesting information and may be, for example, a typical
`
`HTTPserver, such as those being used to deliver content on any of the many suchservers on the
`
`Internet. It should be noted that the server 152 is not limited to being an HTTPserver.In fact, if
`
`a different communication protocol is used within the communication network, the server may
`
`be a server capable of handling a different protocol. It should also be noted that while the present
`
`description refers to the use of HTTP, the present invention may relate to any other
`
`communication protocol and HTTPis not intended to be a limitation to the present invention.
`
`The communication network 100 further contains an acceleration server 162 having an
`
`acceleration server storage device 164. As is described in more detail herein, the acceleration
`
`server storage device 164 has contained therein an acceleration server database. The acceleration
`
`server database stores Internet protocol (IP) addresses of communication devices within the
`
`communication network 100 having acceleration software stored therein. Specifically, the
`
`acceleration scrver database contains stored therein a list of communication devices having
`
`accclcration software stored therein that arc currently online within the communication nctwork
`
`100. For each such agent, the acceleration server assignsa list of IP addresses.
`
`In the communication network 100 of FIG. 3, the application in the client 102 is
`
`requesting information from the Web server 152, which is why the software within the
`
`communication device designated this communication device to work as a client. In addition,
`
`since the agent 122 receives the request from the client 102 as the communication device closest

`

`Attorney Docket No. 19459-6105P
`
`to the Web server 152, functionality of the agent 122, as provided by the software of the agent
`
`122, designates this communication device to work as an agent. It should be noted, that in
`
`accordance with an alternative embodimentof the invention, the agent need not be the
`
`communication device that is closest to the Web server. Instead, a different communication
`
`device may be selected to be the agent.
`
`Since the peers 112, 114, 116 contain at least portions of the information sought by the
`
`client 102 from the Web server 152, functionality of the peers 112, 114, 116, as provided by the
`
`software of the peers 112, 114, 116, designates these communication devices to work as peers.It
`
`should be noted that the process of designating clients, agents, and peers is described in detail
`
`herein. It should also be noted that the numberof clients, agents, peers, acceleration servers,
`

`
`Prior to describing functionality performed within a communication network 100, the
`
`following further describes a communication device 200, in accordance with a first exemplary
`
`embodimentof the invention. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram furtherillustrating a communication
`
`device 200 of the communication network 100, which contains general components of a
`
`computer. As previously mentioned, it should be noted that the communication device 200 of
`
`FIG. 4 mayserve as a clicnt, agent, or peer.
`
`Gencrally, in terms of hardware architecture, as shown in FIG. 4, the communication
`
`device 200 includes a processor 202, memory 210, at least one storage device 208, and one or
`
`more input and/or output (I/O) devices 240 (or peripherals) that are communicatively coupled
`
`via a local interface 250. The local interface 250 can be, for example but not limited to, one or
`
`more buses or other wired or wireless connections, as is known in the art. The local interface 250

`
`may have additional elements, which are omitted for simplicity, such as controllers, buffers
`
`(caches), drivers, repeaters, and receivers, to enable communications. Further, the local mterface
`
`250 mayinclude address, control, and/or data connections to enable appropriate communications
`
`among the aforementioned components.
`
`The processor 202 is a hardware device for executing software, particularly that stored in
`
`the memory 210. The processor 52 can be any custom made or commercially available
`
`processor, a central processing unit (CPU), an auxiliary processor among several processors
`
`associated with the communication device 200, a semiconductor based microprocessor(in the
`
`form of a microchip or chip set), a macroprocessor, or generally any device for executing
`
`software instructions.
`
`The memory 210, which is further illustrated and described by the description of FIG. 5,
`
`can include any one or combination of volatile memory elements (e.g., random access memory
`
`(RAM,such as DRAM, SRAM, SDRAM,efc.)) and nonvolatile memory elements (e.g., ROM,
`
`hard drive, tape, CDROM, etc.). Moreover, the memory 210 may incorporate electronic,
`
`magnetic, optical, and/or other types of storage media. Note that the memory 210 can have a
`
`distributed architecture, where various componcnts are situated remote from onc another, but can
`
`be accessed by the processor 202.
`
`The software 212 located within the memory 210 may include one or more separate
`
`programs, cach of which contains an orderedlisting of executable instructions for implementing
`
`logical functions of the communication device 200, as described below. In the cxample of FIG.
`
`4, the software 212 in the memory 210 at least contains an acceleration application 220 and an
`
`Internet browser 214. In addition, the memory 210 may contain an operating system (O/S) 230.
`
`The operating system 230 essentially controls the execution of computer programs and provides
`
`scheduling, input-output control, file and data management, memory management, and
`
`communication control and related services. It should be notedthat, in addition to the

`
`acceleration application 220, Internet browser 214, and operating system 230, the memory 210
`
`may contain other software applications.
`
`While the present description refers to a request from the client originating from an
`
`Internet browser, the present invention is not limited to requests originating from Internet
`
`browsers. Instead, a request may originate fram an email program or any other program that
`
`would. be used to request data that is stored on a Web server, or other server holding data that is
`
`requested by the client device.
`
`Functionality of the communication device 200 may be provided by a source program,
`
`executable program (object code), script, or any other entity containing a set of instructions to be
`
`performed. When a source program, then the program needs to be translated via a compiler,
`
`assembler, interpreter, or the like, which may or maynot be included within the memory 210, so
`
`as to operate properly in connection with the operating system 230. Furthermore, functionality of
`
`the communication device 200 can be written as (a) an object oriented programming language,
`
`which has classes of data and methods, or (b) a procedure programming language, which has
`
`routines, subroutines, and/or functions.
`
`The I/O devices 240 may include input devices, for example but not limited to, a
`
`keyboard, mouse, scanner, microphone, etc. Furthermore, the I/O devices 240 may also include
`
`output devices, for example but not limited to, a printer, display, ec. Finally, the I/O devices 240
`
`may further include devices that communicate via both inputs and outputs, for instance but not
`
`limited to, a modulator/demodulator (modem; for acccssing another devicc, system, or network),
`
`a radio frequency (RF) or other transceiver, a telephonic interface, a bridge, a router, etc.
`
`When the communication device 200 is in operation, the processor 202 1s configured to
`
`execute the software 212 stored within the memory 210, to communicate data to and from the
`
`memory 210, and to generally control operations of the communication device 200 pursuant to

`
`the software 212. The software 212 and the O/S 230, in whole orin part, but typically the latter,
`
`are read by the processor 202, perhaps buffered within the processor 202, and then executed.
`
`Whenfunctionality of the communication device 200 is implemented in software,as is
`
`shown in FIG.4, it should be noted that the functionality can be stored on any computer readable
`
`medium for use by or in connection with any computer related system or method. In the context
`
`of this document, a computer readable medium is an electronic, magnetic, optical, or other
`
`physical device or means that can contain or store a computer program for use by or in
`
`connection with a computer related system or method. The functionality of the communication
`
`device 200 can be embodied in any computer-readable medium for use by or in connection with
`
`an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system,
`
`processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch the instructions from the instruction
`
`execution system, apparatus, or device and execute the instructions. I
