Abstract: Methods and system of traffic load balancing between a plurality of Points of Presence (PoP) of a cloud computing infrastructure are described. A first PoP of multiple PoPs of cloud computing infrastructure that provides a cloud computing service receives a packet. The packet includes as a destination address an anycast address advertised by the first PoP for reaching the cloud computing service. The first PoP identifies a network address of a second PoP that is different from the first PoP. The first PoP forwards the packets as an encapsulated packet to the second PoP to be processed in the second PoP according to the cloud computing service.

Abstract: For each network resource request received at a server of a cloud-based service, a determination of whether that request originated from a second network resource is made. For each such request where the network resource originated from the second network resource, a referrer indication is logged that indicates the second network resource is a referrer to that network resource. A network resource relevance dataset is generated based on the referrer indications of the second network resources. A relevance metric is associated with each second network resource based on a total number of referrer indications. A search request is received from a client device. Based at least in part on the network resource relevance dataset, search results are determined. The search results are transmitted to the client device.

Abstract: A method and system for detection of security threats on network resources based on referrer indications are presented. A determination that a second request originated from a first network resource is performed based on second request information associated with a second request for a second network resource. In response to determining that the second request originated from the first network resource, a referrer indication that the first network resource is a referrer to the second network resource is logged. A third request for a third network resource is received. A determination that the third request is part of a cyber-attack on a second server is performed based at least in part on the referrer indication.
