Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments implement systems and methods to monitor CDN performance from the end user's perspective. To achieve full end-to-end monitoring, the systems and methods monitor the performance of Anycast routing for routing an end user to the optimal PoP of the CDN and monitor the performance of different routes that deliver content from the optimally selected PoP back to the end user. Systems and methods are also provided to leverage the monitored performance in order to automatically optimize the performance of the CDN by optimizing or modifying Anycast routing and by performing route grooming as needed to ensure that the optimal route is selected to deliver content to different sets of end users that request content from a particular PoP.
