Patent number: 11146615Abstract: An Internet infrastructure delivery platform operated by a provider enables HTTP-based service to identified third parties at large scale. The platform provides this service to one or more cloud providers. The approach enables the CDN platform provider (the first party) to service third party traffic on behalf of the cloud provider (the second party). In operation, an edge server handling mechanism leverages DNS to determine if a request with an unknown host header should be serviced. Before serving a response, and assuming the host header includes an unrecognized name, the edge server resolves the host header and obtains an intermediate response, typically a list of aliases (e.g., DNS CNAMEs). The edge server checks the returned CNAME list to determine how to respond to the original request. Using just a single edge configuration, the CDN service provider can support instant provisioning of a cloud provider's identified third party traffic.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen L. Ludin, Prasanna Laghate, Matthew J. Stevens, Frederick R. Shotton, Jozef Hatala

Patent number: 11082401Abstract: A cloud-based firewall system and service is provided to protect customer sites from attacks, leakage of confidential information, and other security threats. In various embodiments, such a firewall system and service can be implemented in conjunction with a content delivery network (CDN) having a plurality of distributed content servers. The CDN servers receive requests for content identified by the customer for delivery via the CDN. The CDN servers include firewalls that examine those requests and take action against security threats, so as to prevent them from reaching the customer site. The CDN provider implements the firewall system as a managed firewall service, with the operation of the firewalls for given customer content being defined by that customer, independently of other customers. In some embodiments, a customer may define different firewall configurations for different categories of that customer's content identified for delivery via the CDN.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John A. Dilley, Prasanna Laghate, John F. Summers, Thomas Devanneaux

Publication number: 20120265853Abstract: This patent document describes, among other things, distributed computer platforms for online delivery of multimedia, including HD video, at broadcast audience scale to a variety of runtime environments and client devices in both fixed line and mobile environments. The teachings hereof can be applied to deliver live and on-demand content streams via computer networks. The teachings also relate to the ingestion of content streams in a given source format and the serving of the stream in a given target format. For example, a system might have machines in a content delivery network that ingest live streams in a source format, use an intermediate format to transport the stream within the system, and output the stream in a target format to clients that have requested (e.g., with an HTTP request) the stream. The streams may be archived for later playback.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2011Publication date: October 18, 2012Applicant: AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Christopher R.
