  • Marker based reporting system for hybrid content delivery network and peer to peer network
    Patent number: 11503115
    Abstract: This document describes marker based approaches for a CDN to monitor and report on the amount of traffic that it is serving on behalf of content providers. They are particularly useful in hybrid delivery scenarios. Hybrid delivery scenarios means that a client may obtain content, such as a given multimedia stream, from one or more servers in the CDN, or from one or more peers in a peer to peer network. The amount of data served from the peer network is referred to herein as the “offload”, as delivery of that data has been offloaded from the CDN platform.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 15, 2022
    Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Rahul Singhal, Eric K. Geyer, Henning Makholm, Christian Worm Mortensen
