摘要： A method and system for cache optimization in a hybrid solid state drive and magnetic storage cache architecture for a content delivery network (CDN) is disclosed. The CDN has a number of geographically distributed points of presence (POPs) across the Internet. Customers of the CDN pay for storage of content objects. Cache management in a POP analyzes information related to content objects to determine if storage will be on a solid state drive (SSD) instead of a magnetic drive. The information used in this analysis is from the application layer or above in the open systems interconnection (OSI) model. The content objects are delivered from either the SSD or magnetic storage to end users.

摘要： Disclosed are systems and methods for providing unified routing and caching logic for applications utilizing a CDN. First, the system maintains access to one or more edge servers for a CDN, with the one or more edge servers being configured to execute edge logic. The system receives code for an application in a specified application framework, with the code and/or application framework including a unified set of routing and caching logic for dynamic data to be applied to a number of caches, and with the unified set of routing and caching logic being derived from a centralized definition. For each of the caches, the system first analyzes the set of routing and caching logic to determine a subset of the routing and caching logic to be executed by the cache, and then atomically sends the determined subset of the routing and caching logic to the cache.

摘要： Disclosed are systems and methods for enabling an application developer to define CDN behavior (e.g., caching rules) alongside an application program code and embedded in the same source code. The systems and methods can be used to define CDN or edge caching behavior using custom cache keys that go beyond simply using a URL. The custom cache keys and source code CDN behavior definitions can be used to enable a graphical user interface to specify traffic rules in a codeless interface. The described embodiments can be used for defining general traffic routing, to test different versions of the application or to otherwise present different versions of the application to end users, while preserving cache keys and caching behavior at the edge and throughout the application distribution layers.

摘要： A method of servicing content requests in a CDN may include receiving a request for content from a first client device, identifying content associated with the content request, identifying a second client device that stores the content, identifying a CDN storage location that also stores the content, determining whether the second client device is authorized to source the content to the first client device, and selecting a source for the content. The source for the content may be selected from the storage location associated with the CDN and the second client device. The source for the content may be selected based on one or more CDN policies. The method may also include initiating a transfer of the at least a portion of the content from the second client device to the first client device if the second client device is selected as the source for the content.

摘要： A method of accelerating dynamic content between Points of Presence (POPs) and front-loading latency bottlenecks in a Content Delivery Network (CDN) may include receiving, at a first POP, a content request from a user device, where content responsive to the content request includes a first content portion that is not stored in the first POP. The method may also include determining that the first content portion is available through a second POP. The method may additionally include transmitting the first content portion through a persistent connection mesh from the second POP to the first POP, wherein the persistent connection mesh is maintained between the first POP and the second POP prior to the request for content being received by the first POP. The method may further include delivering the content responsive to the content request to the user device.

摘要： A content delivery network transcodes content objects from a content provider for transmission to end users. The content delivery network includes network storage and servers. When a content object is uploaded, the network storage stores a copy of the content object, and a copy of the content object is directed to external file-based storage. At least one of the servers directs segments of the content object to a plurality of transcoding servers. Each of the transcoding servers informs a segment engine about which of the segments the transcoding server has received, transcodes the received segment to form a transcoded segment receivable by at least one of the end users, and transmits the transcoded segment to a permanent storage location. The content delivery network verifies that the copy of the content object is stored in the external file-based storage, and deletes the local copy of the content object.

摘要： Systems and methods for delivering a content object from a cache in a terminal network are disclosed. An edge server in a content delivery network provides a duration for a terminal network to cache a content object. The duration is conveyed by a control parameter. The content delivery network has a contract with a content provider to deliver the content object to end users. The terminal network receives a request from an end-user system for the content object. Based on the request being received within the duration and the terminal network having the content object in a cache, the terminal network delivers the content object to the end-user system. The terminal network then reports delivery of the content object to the content delivery network and/or to an intermediary. The terminal network is then compensated for delivering the content object.

摘要： Methods and systems for coordinating provisions of storage service for clients are provided. For each storage provider of a set of storage providers, a service-provider database stores a metric characterizing a property of a service provided by the service provider. The storage providers are independently owned and operated relative to each other. The metrics are repeatedly updated. A selection engine repeatedly selects a service provider from the set of service providers to store a content object of a client of the content delivery system. The selection is based on the repeatedly updated metrics for the set of service providers. For each service provider selected by the selection engine to store the content object of the client, a service manager coordinates with the service provider such that the service provider stores the content object of the client.
