Abstract: A computer-implemented method, in a content delivery (CD) network, wherein the CD network delivers content on behalf of multiple content providers. At a server in the CD network, wherein the serving is processing multiple requests from a plurality of distinct clients, and based on utilization of at least one capacity of the server, degrading processing of a first at least some of the requests. The server may continue to accept incoming requests while degrading processing of some requests. While processing of any requests is degraded, at least some new incoming requests may also be degraded. Based on the utilization of the at least one capacity of the server, a request may be un-degraded.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for mapping requests for content received at a CDN to multiple mid-tier content servers. In an example, a method involves utilizing one or more hashing algorithms to map a URL associated with the mid-tier devices to one or more hostnames that may be utilized by the CDN to route requests for content to a particular mid-tier device when an edge device cannot service the request. In this manner, one content device of a particular metro receives requests for particular content and serves that content. By limiting the requests for particular content to a particular mid-tier device, storage may be more efficiently allocated across the mid-tier devices and content not replicated at multiple mid-tier devices.

Abstract: A content delivery network has at least a first tier of servers. A content delivery method includes, at a first server in the first tier of servers, obtaining a request from a client for a resource. If the resource is available at the first server or at a peer of the first server, then the resource is served to the client from the first server. Otherwise, it is determined whether the resource is popular, and if the resource is determined to be popular, then the first server obtains the resource and the first server serves the resource to the client. If the resource is determined not to be popular, the client is directed to a second server, not in the first tier of servers, and the second server serves the resource to the client. The second server may be in a second tier of servers or it may be an origin server.
