REQUEST ROUTING BASED ON CLASS

摘要

A system and method for management and processing of resource requests is provided. A content delivery network service provider receives a DNS query from a client computing device. The DNS query corresponds to a requested resource from the client computing device. The content delivery network service provider associates the client computing device with a cluster of other client computing devices. Based on routing information for the cluster, the content delivery network service provider routes the DNS query. The process can further include monitoring performance data associated with the delivery of the requested resource and updating the routing information for the cluster based on the performance data for use in processing subsequent requests from client computing devices in the cluster.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
as implemented by one or more computing devices of a content delivery network (CDN) service, the one or more computing devices configured with specific executable instructions, obtaining a Domain Name System (DNS) query from a client computing device at a first DNS server, wherein the DNS query corresponds to a requested resource and wherein the first DNS server corresponds to the CDN service; determining a class of the client computing device associated with the DNS query; and monitoring performance associated with delivery of the requested resource; determining whether an update to routing information for the class is needed based on the delivery performance; and if so, modifying the routing information for the class.
