Examples described herein relate to standardizing content requests and responses in a content delivery network (CDN). An edge node receives a control object including sets of instructions each implementing portions of a customer's business logic. The edge node may receive, from a client, a content request identifying a content item, and may apply a set of the instructions which causes the edge node to (i) determine whether any changes are needed for the benefit of a cache server and whether any changes are need for the benefit of an origin server, and (ii) generate a processed client request identifying the content item and including, if needed, any changes for the benefit of the cache server and the origin server. The edge node transmits the processed client request to the cache server, receives a response from the cache server, and transmits a processed client response to the client.

EDGE COMPUTE ENVIRONMENT AUTOMATIC SERVER CONFIGURATION TOOL
A server configuration tool is presented for autonomously configuring servers located in a network. The tool may autonomously configure multiple servers in parallel based on individual states of the servers, which may be periodically and simultaneously determined. For example, the tool may determine which action to take to begin or continue configuring the server based on the present state of each server. Server states (and corresponding actions) can be edited through a user interface to alter the server configuration process without code changes. At any one time, multiple servers may be in different states requiring different configuration operations to configure the servers to be ready for use. The present systems and methods can be used to move multiple servers iteratively through different configuration actions based on the individual state of each server and to perform non-conflicting configuration operations for multiple servers in parallel.

UPDATING CONFIGURATION DATA IN A CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK
Examples described herein relate to systems and methods for updating configuration data. A method implemented by a computer may include receiving updated configuration data from a control core. Earlier configuration data with a time stamp may be stored in an archive storing additional earlier configuration data with respective time stamps. Responsive to the updated configuration data not being faulty, content may be distributed using the updated configuration data. Responsive to the updated configuration data being faulty, a fault may be communicated to a monitoring system, and commands from the monitoring system may be received and executed to: revert to an earlier configuration data corresponding to a specific earlier time, and disregard any further updated configuration data from the control core until instructed otherwise by the monitoring system. Content may be distributed using the earlier configuration data to which the computer is reverted.
Examples of the present disclosure relate to hostname pre-localization. In examples, a service uses a content distribution network (CDN) to provide at least a part of the computing functionality associated with the service. A pre-localized hostname may be used to direct the client computing device to a specific edge server of the CDN that is associated with the computing functionality. In examples, a service receives an initiation request from a client computing device for the computing functionality provided by the CDN. The service generates a pre-localization request comprising pre-localization information and provides the pre-localization request to the CDN. Accordingly, the CDN generates a pre-localized hostname associated with an edge server based on the pre-localization information. The pre-localized hostname is provided to the service, which is then provided to the client computing device, thereby directing the client computing device to the specific edge server of the CDN.
Examples described herein relate to systems and methods for containing a faulty stimulus in a Content Delivery Network, CDN. Every received stimulus including the faulty stimulus is listed in a suspect list, and is implicitly tested by acting upon those stimuli by a software application. Responsive to successfully acting upon a stimulus besides the faulty stimulus, each non-faulty stimulus is deleted from the suspect list and made available to a downstream node. Responsive to acting upon the faulty stimulus, the software application crashes which leaves the faulty stimulus listed in the suspect list. The software application then restarts and deems the faulty stimulus as being faulty based upon the faulty stimulus still being listed in the suspect list after the restart. The faulty stimulus is not made available to a downstream node. The stimuli relate for example to configuration commands to configure the nodes of the CDN.

A DNS resolution request for a hostname of a CDN is received. An edge server of the CDN may be identified, which may be associated with a subnet. The subnet is used to generate a response IP address, where the remaining bits of the response IP address may be used to store requestor information (e.g., a requestor IP address). When a client computing device uses the response IP address to access the edge server, requestor information is extracted and associated with client computing device information (e.g., an IP address and/or location, etc.) in an association record. Association records may be used to determine predicted characteristics for devices served by a requestor. When the authoritative DNS server resolves a request from the requestor, such predicted characteristics may be used rather than relying solely on information about a requestor. Thus, an edge server proximate to the predicted location may be returned instead.

In addition, each of the devices identified by the security profile for the home network may be instructed or otherwise be provided a security agent application for execution on the computing devices. The security agent application may communicate with the security platform when the computing device connects to the Internet over a third party or public access point.
Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for an orchestrator device associated with a scrubbing environment of a telecommunications network that receives one or more announced routing protocol advertisements from a customer device under an attack.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATIONS NODE UPGRADE AND SELECTION
Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for identification of connection areas in a telecommunications network. In one implementation, a customer set is obtained for a communications node in the telecommunications network. The customer set includes an existing connection type and a collection of network sites including the connection type is generated from the customer set. An overlay of customer sites without the conneciton type may be applied to the collection of network sites to generate an intersection of non-connected customer sites within the collection of network sites including the connection type. The intersection provides an indication of underserviced sites connection to the telecommunication network for potential network growth.
A method for providing telecommunications services in a telecommunications network is provided. A site footprint having a plurality of sites associated with a customer population of the telecommunications network is obtained. A fully connected buildable area for the site footprint is generated.

A buildable subgroup is generated based on the buildable connections of the plurality of sites, the one or more buildable subgroups each defining a contiguous build area having a subset of the plurality of sites. At least one investment cluster in a buildable subgroup is generated by clustering the subset of the plurality of sites according to a site category. A telecommunications build plan is generated for providing the telecommunications services to the subset of the plurality of sites associated with the investment cluster.
Improved methods for retrieval of content from CDNs is provided that includes a rendezvous controller that receives information of an identification of content being requested and an estimated location of a content requesting device. Based on this information, the rendezvous system identifies a server within a CDN from which the requested content may be retrieved. The selected server may be based on a repeatable hash function such that the likelihood that the content being requested is cached at the selected server. Steering requests to a server of the CDN which may have the content cached may reduce the number of servers within the CDN with the same cached content, particularly for the highest requested content. The rendezvous system may then return a corresponding domain name associated with the selected server and that can be subsequently submitted to a DNS for resolution to the IP address of the identified server.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO A CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK
Provided is a content delivery method and architecture for ways to improve the caching of content at one or more content providing devices of a Content Delivery Network (CDN). In particular, systems and methods are disclosed that vary the requirements to store resources or content within a caching device using a dynamic popularity threshold. This popularity threshold may be varied based on a measured fullness of the storage capacity of the cache device. In another example, the dynamic popularity threshold may be further varied based on a cache pressure, which is an indication of how often the cache replaces stored items with new items. The adjustment to the popularity threshold for caching particular content at the caching device may thus be based on a number of requests for content received at the device to tune the caching procedure for a particular region of the CDN.

ALLOCATING CAPACITY OF A NETWORK CONNECTION TO DATA STREAMS BASED ON TYPE
ABSTRACT The present invention relates to transmitting data through a communication network. Having a channel that is shared among different data streams presents a risk that critical data may be bottlenecked by non-critical data. To deal with this, embodiments disclosed here transmit user's critical data streams on a dedicated channel. Specifically, when a data stream is determined not to be critical, a forwarding device forwards a packet of the stream on the common channel that is shared with another non-critical data stream. When the data stream is determined to be critical, the forwarding device forwards the packet on a different channel that is dedicated to the data stream. In one example, a web content provider may send web content in different data streams to its customers across the network. Some of the data streams may be critical, and dedicated channels with specific capacities may be assigned to this critical data. Date Recue/Date Received 2021-05-19

Techniques are provided for blocking forgiveness in a system that mitigates distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on a network. A user's network address can be blocked as a result performing human behavior analysis on network resource request activity from the user's address. The system can block an address temporarily based on their behavior, classifying legitimate human users as a malicious attacker performing a DDoS attack. But subsequent behavioral analysis of network resource requests can identify that the user should not have been blocked. The system can automatically unblock the user's address, and allow further network resource requests. Previously blocked requests can also be unblocked. The number of infractions (e.g., action classified as malicious) can be tracked and compared to a threshold. If the number is less than the threshold, then that address is not blocked, thereby allowing forgiveness of a certain number of infractions.
Abstract A computer-implemented method for providing a service on a network is provided. The method includes: requesting, on a first router, instructions from a remote server specifying how the first router is to operate to provide the service requested; initializing a first thread to execute the received instructions; determining that a configuration of the first router has changed; executing, on the initialized thread, the instructions to apply the service in accordance with the change; receiving, at the first thread, a packet from a second thread running on a second router executing the instructions from the remote server; and determining, at the first thread, that the second thread is also participating in providing the service. This can be helpful with moving the functionality of providing a service from an orchestration server to a routing device, obviating the need for an orchestration server.

A network includes a plurality of endpoint routers and intermediate routers. When a new data stream is detected at any endpoint router, the first packet is sent to a virtual routing server with knowledge of the entire network topology. Based on the topology, current usage, and historical usage, the virtual routing server determined a path for the data stream and begins to update the routing tables of the intermediate routers to reflect the determined path. Until the update is complete, all packets in the data stream are routed first to the virtual routing server and then to their destination. Once the update is complete, packets in the data stream are routed directly along the determined path.
