Method and system for providing a cdn with granular quality of service

In a method of providing granular quality of service in a hybrid content distribution network of classical distribution in a network via client-server plus very distributed mechanisms operating peer to peer inside the network, content is replicated in a large number of endpoint nodes, some of which are CPEs of broadband subscribers, and backed by a few storage servers to ensure content availability. Traffic is delivered by a mixture of P4P for choice of seeds and selection of good neighborhoods for quick content download. The ISP uses the unsold physical capacity of the link for CDN service and other underutilized resources, and enforces seeding at many nodes including broadband subscriber CPEs. By having a large farm of nano-datacenters distributed across the network, including the premises of broadband customers, the ISP can maintain and run a CDN. A tracker determines where to seed the content, depending on the number of broadband subscribers requesting the content, the geographical distribution of requested content, and the Service Level Agreement between content providers and the ISP. The tracker can seed a sufficient number of nodes to ensure redundancy.

Network performance monitoring in a content delivery system

A method for Internet content delivery in a content delivery network established at network locations, the content delivery network comprising a plurality of content servers for serving content resources. The plurality of content servers includes a plurality of subsets of content servers, each subject being located at one of a plurality of Internet data centers. For each Internet Protocol (IP) address block from which requests for content resources are expected to be received, the method generates a candidate list of Internet data centers to be used to service the requests for content resources. For the IP address block, the method selects at least one of the Internet data centers from the candidate list to be used to service the requests for content resources. The selected Internet data center for the IP address block is written into a network map. The selecting step is carried out concurrently for each IP address block from which requests for content resources are expected to be received such that the network map comprises the selected Internet data center for each IP address block. The network map is then provided to a domain name service (DNS) associated with the content delivery network. In response to a DNS query received at the domain name service associated with the content delivery network, the network map is used to identify one of the Internet data centers from the candidate list to be used to service a request for a content resource.

Method for extending a network map

An intelligent traffic redirection system performs global load balancing. The system uses a network map that is generated in part by extending a “sparse” IP address data map. In particular, a method of extending an IP address block map begins by defining a set of one or more upper bound block(s). These upper bound blocks are then used to partition a space of IP addresses into subsets or “territories”, wherein each territory represents a largest set of IP addresses to which a piece of mapping data may be extended. The “piece” of mapping data typically consists of a host (usually a “name server” identified by the core point discovery process) IP address and some data about that host, namely, a “nearest” data center or a flag indicating that either “no data” exists for that host or that the system is “indifferent” as to which of a set of mirrored data centers the host should be mapped. A unification algorithm partitions the territory of each upper bound block into the largest possible sub-blocks in which a given unanimity criterion is satisfied and extends the mapping data in each such sub-block to all of the territory of that sub-block.

Distributed Processing of North-South Traffic for Logical Network in Public Cloud

Some embodiments provide a method for a managed first forwarding element executing on a first data compute node (DCN) that operates on a first host machine within a public datacenter. The managed first forwarding element is configured to implement a logical network. The method receives a data packet from an application, executing on the first data compute node, that sends and receives data packets through the logical network. When the data packet has a destination address that is not associated with the logical network, the method sends the packet directly to a second forwarding element configured by an administrator of the datacenter. When the data packet has a destination address associated with the logical network, the method sends the packet to a managed third forwarding element configured to implement the logical network. The managed third forwarding element executes on a second DCN on a second host machine within the datacenter.

Routing optimization for virtual machine migration between geographically remote data centers

A system and associated method for optimizing routing of data traffic for a host virtual machine. The host virtual machine communicates with an Internet Protocol (IP) network via a default gateway of a source site prior to migration. A migration service process migrates the host virtual machine from the source site to a target site, which is geographically remote from the source site and consequently changes routing efficiency of the data traffic between the host virtual machine and the IP network. The migration service process reconfigures routing parameters of the migrated host virtual machine for data traffic going out to the IP network from the host virtual machine. The migration service process examines the IP network configurability and subsequently reconfigures the IP network for inbound data traffic coming into the migrated host virtual machine from the IP network when available.

Shared view of customers across business support systems (BSS) and a service delivery platform (SDP)

An identity management tool provides identity management across multiple domains, providing a single access point not only for information for runtime, network, and service layer information, but also for systems such as business support systems (BSS), operational support systems (OSS), and third party systems. The identity management tool creates a unified user profile that maps customer identities across the various domains, and presents the information in a virtual directory wherein the information appears to come from a single source, creating a central data hub for the various systems. This aggregation provides for the same experience and service across various access networks and using various channels. Such an architecture allows billing and service information to be shared with subscription and customer information, even though the data is substantially unrelated data from disparate data sources, without the need to combine schemas or aggregate the data into a single data store.
