Abstract: If a first workload is supported by candidate servers with different architectures, a determination is made that a selected workload is the first workload. If the first workload is not supported by candidate servers with the different architectures, a determination is made that the selected workload is a second workload. Components of the candidate servers are determined, and statistics are collected, and component values are determined. If the components impact performance of the selected workload, weights are set for the components to be a percentage impact of the components on the selected workload. If the components do not impact performance, weights are set to be one. Functions of the component values and the weights are calculated. The results of the functions are processed with costs of the candidate servers to yield adjusted costs. The selected workload is moved to the candidate server with a lowest adjusted cost.

Abstract: Using location-independent names to identify content, a service for mapping endpoint requests to requested content. Content requested by an endpoint of the network is mapped to a dynamic “swarm” of server, peer, or other endpoints capable of supporting the content download. Content names are mapped to a dynamically generated content swarm, presenting a current set of hosts, which can provide the requested content. Optionally, varying degrees of explicit visibility into routing paths and the performance tradeoffs between those routing paths is supported. Based on a set of class of service parameters for a given request for content, a host can initiate route selection based on class of service parameters, predicated on routing metrics maintained by the network by cooperating endpoints and/or network routers.
