More Information
Summary:The present disclosure distributes processing capabilities throughout different nodes in a wireless network. Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure increase the efficiency of communications in a wireless network because they help minimize the need to forward communications to other nodes in the network by allowing different wireless nodes to receive and store content ratings regarding requested content in caches associated with respective wireless nodes. Apparatus and methods consistent with the present disclosure perform a load balancing function because they distribute content ratings to different nodes in a wireless network without increasing messaging traffic. As response messages regarding access requests are passed back to a requestor, cache memories at nodes along a communication path are updated to include information that cross-references data identifiers with received content ratings. The cross-referenced data identifiers and content ratings allow each respective wireless node along the communication path to block requests to bad content.
