Patent number: 9900215Abstract: Techniques for automatically recommending a new data center, such as a point-of-presence (POP) center are provided. In one technique, multiple candidate locations for a new POP center are considered. An impact of adding a new POP to each candidate location is estimated and a score is generated. Each candidate location is ranked based on the score. In a related technique, an impact score for a candidate location is based on a prediction of whether and how much a new POP center at the candidate location would reduce response times of clients that would connect to the new POP center. The prediction may be based on a model that is generated based on response data generated by clients that are connecting to existing POP centers. The model may take into account multiple factors, such as geographic distance, network distance, type of browser executing on the clients, type of operating system, etc.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2014Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yang Yang, Liang Zhang, Zaid A.

Publication number: 20160283480Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for assigning or allocating multiple content objects, within a content page (e.g., web page) or other content collection (e.g., a set of pages), to different content delivery networks for delivery in response to a content request. The objects are ranked by importance (e.g., importance in rendering or presenting the page), and the networks are ranked by performance (e.g., throughput). In order of importance, the objects are assigned to the best-performing network that is “available.” Some or all networks are initially available, and a given network becomes “unavailable” after it has been assigned its portion of the objects (e.g., based on content, number of objects, amount of data, percentage). If a total accumulated cost of delivering the objects exceeds a target before all objects have been allocated, the allocation process may terminate early and the remaining objects may be assigned to the least-expensive network.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2015Publication date: September 29, 2016Applicant: LINKEDIN CORPORATIONInventors: Zhenyun Zhuang, Ritesh Maheshwari, Haricharan K.

Publication number: 20160226708Abstract: Techniques for reassigning client devices to different POP centers are provided. Client devices execute code that causes the client devices to request data from one or more POP centers. The client device record how much time it takes to receive the requested data. The download time is reported and aggregated to determine POP center-to-client device assignments. If it is determined that a client device should be reassigned to a particular POP center, then a DNS provider is configured to update the appropriate hostname-to-IP address mapping to an IP address of the particular POP center. A change in performance based on a POP reassignment may then be determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2015Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: Ritesh Maheshwari, Haricharan Ramachandra, Badrinath Sridharan
