MULTI-PEER ROUTING IN A NETWORK

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for managing the distribution of content and/or communications from a computer network to an end user of the network. In general, the system receives a request for content from the network from a user of the network and determines a server or content providing component within the network to provide the content to the user. In addition, the network may reduce the number of components and distance requests for the content are transmitted through the associated networks. In one embodiment, the network may provide altered destination paths to one or more access networks through which the end user accesses the network. The altered destination paths may be used by the end user's service provider or local network to select an access network for accessing the computer network to minimize the impact on the computer network for providing the content to the end user.

主权项

1. A method for optimizing inbound traffic for a network, the method comprising:
storing, in a network device of a computer network, a geographic area of a particular component of the computer network; obtaining geographic areas for each connection between the computer network and a plurality of access networks; comparing the geographic area of the particular component of the computer network and the geographic areas for each connection between the computer network and the plurality of access networks to determine a first subset of the plurality of access networks, wherein the first subset of the plurality of access networks comprises the one or more access networks that connect to the computer network in the same geographic area as the geographic area of the particular component of the computer network; and transmitting a preferred path element for the particular component of the computer network to the first subset of the plurality of access networks.
