Patent number: 9781056Abstract: Telemetry data from a plurality of peer computers of a peer-to-peer network is aggregated via a computer network. Each of the plurality of peer computers sends telemetry data related to transfer of a digital content item within the peer-to-peer network. A content-acquisition request querying for a recommended content source to provide a first digital content item is received from a first peer computer of the peer-to-peer network via the computer network. A response to the content-acquisition request is sent to the first peer computer via the computer network. The response identifies a second peer computer of the peer-to-peer network that has the first digital content item as the recommended content source. The second peer computer is selected according to a peer selection metric derived from the telemetry data aggregated from the plurality of peer computers.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Alexander Burba, Brandon Hunt, Matthew Wan, Mehmet Akkurt, Nima Ganjeh, Frank R.

Patent number: 9716749Abstract: Telemetry data from a plurality of peer computers of a peer-to-peer network is aggregated via a computer network. Each of the plurality of peer computers sends telemetry data relating to transfer of a digital content item within the peer-to-peer network. A mitigation operation that modifies transfer of a digital content item between peer computers of the peer-to-peer network is performed according to one or more health metrics of the peer-to-peer network. The one or more health metrics are derived from the telemetry data aggregated from the plurality of peer computers.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Mehmet Akkurt, Alexander Burba, Brandon Hunt, Michael Gallop, Nima Ganjeh, Frank R.
