Abstract: A method on a device in a content delivery (CD) network (CDN) that distributes content on behalf of one or more subscribers. In response to receiving configuration information from a subscriber, the configuration information relating to at least one property of the subscriber, generating subscriber-specific platform configuration information for the at least one property. Storing the subscriber-specific platform configuration information in platform configuration storage. Invalidating prior platform configuration information associated with the particular subscriber. Responsive to a request from a CDN component for platform configuration information associated with the particular subscriber: obtaining the subscriber-specific platform configuration information from the platform configuration storage; and providing the subscriber-specific platform configuration information to the CDN component.

Abstract: A DNS resolution request for a hostname of a CDN is received. An edge server of the CDN may be identified, which may be associated with a subnet. The subnet is used to generate a response IP address, where the remaining bits of the response IP address may be used to store requestor information (e.g., a requestor IP address). When a client computing device uses the response IP address to access the edge server, requestor information is extracted and associated with client computing device information (e.g., an IP address and/or location, etc.) in an association record. Association records may be used to determine predicted characteristics for devices served by a requestor. When the authoritative DNS server resolves a request from the requestor, such predicted characteristics may be used rather than relying solely on information about a requestor. Thus, an edge server proximate to the predicted location may be returned instead.

Abstract: Described are system and method embodiments for shield fault detection to protect the cable, components and other circuits connected to the cable shield, and to avoid high short circuit currents flowing from a power source to ground during unexpected events. A threshold voltage detector and a slope detector may be used to sense the voltage on a shield pin switchably coupled to ground via a shield ground. Method embodiments to distinguish the shield ground switch current caused by a shield fault from normal operation are also discussed. In certain situations, a weak ground path is established first to sense or identify a valid attachment on the cable before establishing a strong ground path. The disclosed embodiments, separately or in combination, may effectively detect shield fault with improved performance.
