COMMUNICATION PATH SELECTION FOR CONTENT DELIVERY

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and software for modifying a communication path based on content delivery performance data. In one example, a method of operating a content server that hosts content to be provided to a plurality of end user devices includes identifying latency data for a plurality of end user devices communicating with the content server, and identifying that the one or more end user devices in the plurality of end user devices exceed a latency threshold based on the latency data. The method further includes, in response to identifying that the one or more end user devices in the plurality of end user devices exceed the latency threshold, modifying the communication path between the content server and the one or more end user devices by modifying a domain name system (DNS) configuration for the content server.

1. A method of operating a content server that hosts network content to adjust a communication path between the content server and one or more end user devices, the method comprising:
identifying latency data for the plurality of end user devices communicating with the content server; identifying that the one or more end user devices in the plurality of end user devices exceed a latency threshold based on the latency data; and in response to identifying that the one or more end user devices in the plurality of end user devices exceed the latency threshold, modifying the communication path between the content server and the one or more end user devices by modifying a domain name system (DNS) configuration for the content server.
