  • DECOUPLING OF IP ADDRESS BINDINGS AND USE IN A DISTRIBUTED CLOUD COMPUTING NETWORK
    Publication number: 20220182354
    Abstract: An authoritative domain name system (DNS) server receives a DNS query for an address record for a hostname. The DNS server selects an IP address from multiple IP addresses to include in an answer to the DNS query, where each IP address is capable of being selected to be included in the answer regardless of the hostname being queried, where multiple servers of a distributed cloud computing network are capable of receiving traffic at each IP address, and where none of the IP addresses identify a particular server of the distributed cloud computing network. The authoritative DNS server transmits an answer to the DNS query that includes the selected IP address. Sometime after, one of the servers of the distributed cloud computing network receives a request for content that is addressed to the selected IP address and processes the request.
