Patent number: 8041818Abstract: A network of point of presence servers allows a customer to organize their web site by functions where functions are mapped into domain names. The functions have requirements that define what is needed by a server to satisfy the function. The domain names are mapped into resources or servers that can be addressed by the domain name and that satisfy requests for the function that domain name has been defined to support. This method of organization allows individual elements of a web page to be retrieved from different resources and gives the name server the control to direct users to an available and optimal server for a given resource.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2009Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ajit Kumar Gupta, Richard David Day, Eric Sven-Johan Swildens

Publication number: 20110167111Abstract: A method for operating a network of point of presence servers sharing a hostname includes receiving a request from a user for a web page at a first web address, determining traffic loads of a plurality of customer web servers, determining a customer web server from the plurality of customer web servers, the customer web server having a traffic load lower than traffic loads of remaining customer web servers, directing the request from the user to the customer web server, receiving a request from the user for static content on the web page at a second web address, determining the point of presence server from the network of point of presence servers that is appropriate for the request, the point of presence server having service metrics more appropriate than service metrics of remaining point of presence servers from the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2011Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Richard David Day, Eric Sven-Johan Swildens, Ajit Kumar Gupta
