US20190312927

1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to download content to a local device using a decentralized content distribution network, the method comprising: (11) (3)

receiving a request, at the local device, from an application to download content using the decentralized content distribution network;

determining a plurality of nodes in the decentralized content distribution network to download the content; and

for each node in the plurality of nodes, attempting to establish communications between the local device and that node,

downloading a portion of the content from that node if communication is established between the local device and that node, wherein the size of the portion is based on at least a characteristic of that node, and

downloading a portion of the content from a proxy if communication cannot be established between the local device and that node, wherein the size of the portion is based on at least a characteristic of that proxy.

2. The machine-readable medium of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of nodes obtains the content and places the content into the decentralized content distribution network. (0)

3. The machine-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the proxy is a proxy for a different one of the plurality of nodes. (0)

4. The machine-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the attempting to establish communications with a node comprises: (1) (1)

6. The machine-readable medium of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (1)

7. The machine-readable medium of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (1)

8. The machine-readable medium of claim 1, wherein at least one of the nodes authenticates the content. (1) (0)

11. The machine-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the local device communicates with at least one of the plurality of nodes or the proxy using the Low Extra Delay Background Transport protocol. (0)

12. The machine-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the proxy is a proxy for a node that obtains the content and places the content into the decentralized content distribution network. (0)

13. The machine-readable medium of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (1)

14. A machine-readable medium of claim 1, wherein a communication is one or more of a Local Area Network connections, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low, Bluetooth Smart, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Aware, ANT, ANT+, AirDrop, Oxygen, or a combination of different device-to-device connections. (0)

20. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the nodes authenticates the content. (0)

15. A method to download content to a local device using a decentralized content distribution network, the method comprising: (4) (3)

receiving a request, at the local device, from an application to download content using the decentralized content distribution network;

determining a plurality of nodes in the decentralized content distribution network to download the content; and

for each node in the plurality of nodes, attempting to establish communications between the local device and that node,

16. The method of claim 15, wherein each of the plurality of nodes obtains the content and places the content into the decentralized content distribution network. (0)

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the attempting to establish communications with a node comprises: (0) (1)

18. The method of claim 15, further comprising: (0) (1)

19. The method of claim 15, further comprising: (0) (1)

21. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to download content to a local device using a decentralized content distribution network, the method comprising: (2) (4)

receiving an application request, at the local device, from an application to download content using the decentralized content distribution network;

determining a size of the content;

determining a plurality of nodes in the decentralized content distribution network to download the content; and

for each node in the plurality of nodes, determining a portion of the content for that node, and

downloading the portion of the content from that node.

22. The machine-readable medium of claim 21, wherein the determining a size of the content comprises: (1) (3)

24. The machine-readable medium of claim 21, wherein the determining the portion is based on at least one of a heuristic and machine learning. (2) (0)

27. A method to download content to a local device using a decentralized content distribution network, the method comprising: (0) (4)

receiving an application request, at the local device, from an application to download content using the decentralized content distribution network;

determining a size of the content;

determining a plurality of nodes in the decentralized content distribution network to download the content; and

for each node in the plurality of nodes, determining a portion of the content for that node, and

downloading the portion of the content from that node.
