International Classification:

H04L 12/24
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

In a content delivery framework including a network with multiple delivery service endpoints running on devices, the multiple service endpoints forming a plurality of sub-clusters, a group is defined from a set of nodes comprising delivery service instances across the devices of the plurality of sub-clusters. Each node in the group assumes one or more discrete responsibilities involved in processing of a request across the group, the discrete responsibilities including being fill-responsible. A fill-responsible node is selected from the group to be responsible for processing a request made at a node of the group, the request relating to a particular resource. Selection of the fill-responsible node is based on the particular resource, and the fill-responsible node is selected from a set of one or more nodes in the group that are fill-responsible for the particular resource, the set being defined based on a policy associated with the particular resource.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method is operable in a network comprising multiple delivery service endpoints running on a plurality of devices where each of the delivery service endpoints is constructed and adapted to deliver resources. A plurality of the delivery service endpoints comprise a group, wherein each node in the group has at least one kind of responsibility relating to delivery of resources. The method includes receiving a request at a node; and, based on what kind of responsibility the node has for said request, attempting to process the request outside the group.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method is operable in a content delivery framework having a network comprising multiple service endpoints running on a plurality of devices. A plurality of the service endpoints comprise a peer group. Each node in the peer group has at least one kind of responsibility. The method includes receiving a request at a first node in the peer group, wherein the nodes in the peer group are ranked hierarchically, and wherein the first node has a first rank in the peer group; and, based on a kind of responsibility the first node has for the request, attempting to process the request using a second node in the peer group, wherein the second node has a second rank in the peer group distinct from the first rank of the first node.

US Classification:

709217

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method operable in a content delivery network (CDN), includes receiving a request a service in said CDN; determining a particular classification of an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with said request, said determining using a first function that maps IP addresses to one or more classifications, said particular classification being one of said one or more classifications; and processing said request based on said particular classification of said IP address associated with said request. A location-specific response to a request may be based on a geographic location associated with said IP address associated with said request.
