A method of enabling collaboration between an internet service provider (ISP) and a content distribution system (CDN) or between the ISP and an other ISP, comprises the steps of: gathering a domain name system (DNS) query; the ISP evaluating the DNS query wherein candidate hosts suitable for delivering content in accordance with the DNS query are collected; the ISP ranking the candidate hosts; the ISP providing a first list of the ISP-ranked candidate hosts; the ISP forwarding the DNS query to the CDN or to the other ISP; the CDN or the other ISP evaluating the DNS query wherein candidate hosts suitable for delivering content in accordance with the DNS query are collected; the CDN or the other ISP ranking the candidate hosts; the CDN or the other ISP providing a second list of the CDN-ranked or other ISP-ranked candidate hosts; matching the first list and the second list; and providing a matched list of ranked candidate hosts. According to the invention, by providing the first list of the ISP-ranked candidate hosts as well as the second list of the CDN-ranked or other ISP-ranked candidate hosts and by matching these two lists a client can obtain the matched list of matched candidate hosts. Thus, it is possible that the ISP efficiently collaborates with the CDN or the other ISP without transferring or unveiling critical information between each other.

For traffic engineering in a network, such as reducing the congestion in heavy loaded links, bypass links that are down or reduce transit costs, the invention proposes a method for controlling data communication, wherein a central network element (100) associated with a network provider generates and updates a representation (130) of the network by retrieving network information (110) and/or by monitoring data communication within the network, from a client network element (180) a request is transmitted to the central network element (100), identifying a source network element and at least two destination network elements, for each destination network element a ranking value is determined by the central network element (100) based on the representation (130) of the network, an ordered list is generated based on the respective ranking values and is transmitted to the client network element (180), and based on the ordered list at least one of the destination network elements is selected for data communication with the source network element. The invention further proposes a system and a network element for performing the inventive method.

A method of engineering traffic within a network comprises the steps of: configuring and controlling routing within the network and steering traffic through the network, wherein the steering of the traffic through the network is optimized based on routing control and configuration by evaluating interior gateway protocol weights, label switch paths within multiprotocol label switching and/or border gateway protocol properties. The method further comprises the steps of obtaining an ingress point at which content enters the network and obtaining an egress point at which content exits the network, wherein the steering of the traffic through the network is optimized based on routing control and configuration by evaluating the ingress point and the egress point.
