Optimized content routing distribution using proximity based on predictive client flow trajectories

摘要

System, method, and computer program product to perform an operation, the operation comprising capturing, at one or more peering routers, parameters for a plurality of data packets sent by a client device and specifying a destination network address, identifying which peering router captured the parameters for each of the plurality of data packets, determining, based on the identified peering routers, a first peering router nearest to the client, relative to the other peering routers, identifying a first content cache, of a plurality of content caches in a content distribution network, nearest to the first peering router, and fulfilling a content request from the client device using content stored on the first content cache.

1. A method, comprising:
capturing, by at least one of a plurality of peering routers, parameters for each of a plurality of data packets sent by a client device and specifying a destination network address; determining that a subset of the plurality of peering routers captured the parameters for each of the plurality of data packets; determining, that a first peering router, of the subset of the plurality of peering routers, is nearest to the client device, relative to the other peering routers of the subset of the plurality of peering routers; determining, for each of the plurality of peering routers, a probability that a content request subsequently received from the client device will enter a content distribution network via the respective peering router; determining that the probability of the first peering router is greater than the probabilities of each of the other peering routers of the plurality of peering routers; determining that a first content cache, of a plurality of content caches in the content distribution network, is nearest to the first peering router; and responsive to receiving the content request from the client device, fulfilling the content request using: (i) content stored on the first content cache, and (ii) the first peering router.
