Patent number: 11949647Abstract: A tunnel is established between a first edge server of a distributed edge compute and routing service and a tunnel client residing on an origin server. Routing rules are installed in the edge servers of the distributed edge compute and routing service to reach the first edge server. The routing rules are based at least in part on traffic information gathered from processing other traffic that traverses the distributed edge compute and routing service. A request for content served by the origin server through the tunnel is received at a second edge server of the distributed edge compute and routing service. A path from the second edge server to the first edge server is determined based on the routing rules. The request is transmitted on the determined path. The first edge server receives the request and transmits the request to the origin server over the tunnel.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: CLOUDFLARE, INC.Inventors: Dane Orion Knecht, John Graham-Cumming, Dani Grant, Christopher Philip Branch, Tom Paseka
