Abstract: An overlay network system includes multiple point-of-presence (POP) devices each including a path finding component and corresponding telemetry component, agent component, and routing daemon. The telemetry component generates latency measurements for the POP on which it is disposed. A centralized billboard service provides border gateway protocol (BGP) announcements and point-of-presence (POP) peering decisions to each of the agent components. On each of the POPs, the path finding component and corresponding telemetry component, agent component, and routing daemon cooperate to transform the BGP announcements, peering decisions, and latency measurements into routing tables and link selections for packet streams routed through the POPs.

Abstract: Systems including a telemetry service, a graph service coupled to transform outputs of the telemetry service into path routes through an overlay network, a billboard service configured to transform the path routes into border gateway protocol (BGP) announcements and point-of-presence (POP) peering decisions, multiple agent components, and multiple routing daemons, each disposed on a different POP of the overlay network along with a corresponding one of the agent components. The daemons receive BGP announcements and peering decisions from the billboard service via the corresponding agent component and transform the BGP announcements and peering decisions into routing tables for the POPs.
