Abstract: A content delivery network (CDN) includes a plurality of CDN components including at least one CDN rendezvous mechanism and at least one control core. The CDN components are controlled by control core data from the at least one control core. Some CDN components obtain CDN resources including control core data from at least some other CDN components. The CDN components use the CDN rendezvous mechanism to select one or more CDN components from which to obtain CDN resources.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method in a content delivery network (CDN) comprising multiple content delivery (CD) services including at least one beacon service, the method comprising: at particular CD service in the CDN: (A) obtaining and responding to at least one first request; (B) obtaining and responding to at least one second request; and (C) making a beacon request to a beacon CD service, the beacon request including particular information about: (i) the at least one first request, and (ii) the at least one second request, wherein at least some of the particular information is encoded in the beacon request, wherein the beacon request comprises an HTTP request.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, operable on a device in a content delivery network (CDN), wherein the CDN delivers content on behalf of at least one content provider, the device implementing a content delivery (CD) service, the method includes receiving a request from a client for particular content; determining a second device in the CDN, the first device being in a first cluster and the second device being in a second cluster distinct from the first cluster; migrating the request to the second device; and then providing the second device with network traffic from the client.

Abstract: A content delivery network (CDN) includes a plurality of CDN components including at least one CDN rendezvous mechanism and at least one control core. The CDN components are controlled by control core data from the at least one control core. Some CDN components obtain CDN resources including control core data from at least some other CDN components. The CDN components use the CDN rendezvous mechanism to select one or more CDN components from which to obtain CDN resources.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method in a content delivery (CD) network includes determining at least one pseudo client IP address using first log information and second log information. The first log information being from a rendezvous service in the content delivery (CD) network, and includes at least one resolver IP address associated with at least one first request made at the rendezvous service. The second log information is from at least one probe service in the CD network, and includes at least one client IP address associated with at least one second request to the at least one probe service. The method also includes making an association between (i) the at least one pseudo client IP address and (ii) the at least one resolver IP address; and then, responsive to a name resolution request, the name resolution request including the at least one resolver IP address, the rendezvous service using the at least one pseudo client IP address instead of the resolver IP address to resolve the name.

Abstract: A method includes maintaining first and second mapping data. The first mapping data is from canonical names (CNAMEs) to binding names (BNAMEs), and the second mapping data is from BNAMEs to address information. The method includes using the first mapping data to map a canonical name to a binding name; and then using the second mapping data to map the binding name to corresponding address information.

Abstract: A device supporting content delivery is configured to run at least one content delivery (CD) service of a plurality of CD services. The plurality of CD services include dynamically configurable log information.

Abstract: Example embodiments herein include a system having one or more edge servers disposed in an edge site of a content delivery network (CDN). The system can include a collector for collecting analytics associated with requests for content in the CDN. One or more additional collectors can be instantiated in the system, for example, in response to an increase in recordable events detected in the CDN. The system can include an aggregator for aggregating the collected analytics with analytics collected from other edge stages of the CDN. The system can also include a data store that stores the aggregated analytics according to a configurable data model.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method operable in a content delivery service (CDN), includes, by a collector system: (A) receiving at least one event stream of event data, said event data relating to operation of at least one type of CDN service, each event of said at least one event stream comprising: (i) a timestamp for said event, (ii) information relating to said event; and producing state data relating to information represented in said event data while being able to asynchronously respond to queries relating to said state data.

Abstract: An autonomous content delivery network (CDN) is partitioned into multiple virtual CDNs which are organized into a CDN hierarchy. Within the CDN hierarchy, a parent virtual CDN grants at least one privilege to at least one child virtual CDN. The parent virtual CDN has an instance of a CD service of a first type and the child virtual CDN has no instance of the CD service of the first type. The CD service of the first type is selected from: a rendezvous service; a streaming service, a configuration service, a control service, a collector service, and a cache service.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, operable in a system comprising multiple services, the services running on a plurality of devices, includes tracking first information about requests sent from at least one first service in a first collection of services to at least one second service in a second collection of services, the first collection of services being distinct from the second collection of services; tracking second information from the second collection of services about requests supposedly processed by the second collection of services; and reconciling the first information with the second information. The reconciling may be used to verify or audit information reported by the second collection of services.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method operable in a content delivery network (CDN), includes receiving a request a service in said CDN; determining a particular classification of an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with said request, said determining using a first function that maps IP addresses to one or more classifications, said particular classification being one of said one or more classifications; and processing said request based on said particular classification of said IP address associated with said request. A location-specific response to a request may be based on a geographic location associated with said IP address associated with said request.
