Abstract: A computer-implemented method, operable in a content delivery network (CDN) including a plurality of cache servers and domain name servers. At a cache server in the CDN, a first domain name is obtained, the first domain name being associated with a client request for a resource from the cache server. One or more values associated with the client request are determined and a second domain name is generated, including information from the first domain name and information relating to the one or more values associated with the client request. The second domain name is provided to the client.

Abstract: Provided are computer-implemented methods and systems for performing media resource storage and management. The computer-implemented method and system implemented as a request manager is capable of monitoring requests for media resources in a content delivery network. For each monitored request, the request manager determines whether to generate a multifile for the requested media resource. For example, the request manager can first determine whether the media resource is eligible for multifile generation. If eligible, the request manager then determines whether the media resource has reached a popularity threshold. If the media resource has reached the popularity threshold, the request manager initiates generation of the multifile for the requested media resource. Generally, the generated multifile is stored in a storage system associated with the content delivery network.

Abstract: A content delivery network has at least a first tier of servers. A content delivery method includes, at a first server in the first tier of servers, obtaining a request from a client for a resource. If the resource is available at the first server or at a peer of the first server, then the resource is served to the client from the first server. Otherwise, it is determined whether the resource is popular, and if the resource is determined to be popular, then the first server obtains the resource and the first server serves the resource to the client. If the resource is determined not to be popular, the client is directed to a second server, not in the first tier of servers, and the second server serves the resource to the client. The second server may be in a second tier of servers or it may be an origin server.

Abstract translation: 内容传送网络至少具有第一层服务器。 内容递送方法包括在第一层服务器中的第一服务器处，从客户端获取资源的请求。 如果资源在第一个服务器或第一个服务器的一个对等体上可用，则资源从第一个服务器提供给客户端。 否则，确定资源是否流行，如果资源被确定为流行，则第一服务器获得资源，并且第一服务器向客户端提供资源。 如果资源被确定为不受欢迎，则客户端被引导到第二服务器，而不是在第一层服务器中，并且第二服务器向客户端提供资源。 第二服务器可以在第二层服务器中，或者它可以是源服务器。
