Abstract: Automated steady state traffic management is provided for a distributed platform through immediate or real-time simulation of the capacity and performance impacts associated with shifting different load increments to different Points-of-presence (PoPs) of the distributed platform and by automatic and dynamic traffic management reconfiguration in response to an optimal set of changes identified from the simulation. A system produces data models to track the current distributed platform state and detect deviates from the steady state. Using the data models and scoring functions, the system scores the impact that different shifts of load to different destinations have on the overall distributed platform. The scoring reveals the optimal set of traffic management configuration changes that restore the steady state with the least capacity and performance impact.

Abstract: Systems and methods for gathering distributed information to improve routing that uses Anycast for assigning deliveries between a number of geographically-distant points of presence (POPs) are disclosed. The POPs share the same Internet protocol (IP) address. According to Anycast resolution, the Internet aids in assigning a content request initially to a POP. Delivery statistics are gathered from deliveries a the number of POPs and possibly other sources. Where it is determined that Anycast found the wrong POP, the content request is reassigned to another POP.

Abstract: Systems and methods for gathering distributed information from a number of data agents for a messaging queue, which is coupled to a number of processing subscribers is disclosed. The data agents provide their gathered information to an interface defined by an API. The gathered data may be reformatted or further processed before adding the gathered information to the messaging queue. A number of processing subscribers listen to a content stream produced by the messaging queue to receive data they have subscribed to. Once the processing subscriber receives the content stream, the processing subscriber applies algorithms to the content stream to perform one or more other functions. For instance, the processing subscriber can feed back processed data into the messaging queue and/or perform an action based, at least in part, upon the content stream.
