Abstract:
In one embodiment a system component in a content delivery network (CDN), the CDN including a request router and edge caches, the request router being operable to determine which edge cache should serve content to a client, the system competent including a processor, and a memory to store data used by the processor, wherein the processor is operative to receive a request for content from the client, and based on a decision to shut down a first edge cache after the client has already downloaded some of the content from the first edge cache, participate in a process to transfer the client from downloading the content from the first edge cache to downloading the content from a second edge cache in the middle of the client downloading the content so that the client continues downloading the content from the second edge cache. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, for each port of an access node in an access-based computer network, one access server of a plurality of access servers is configured as a preferred access server for that port. Upon receiving a session initiation message at a particular port, the access node forwards the session initiation message to one or more of the access servers based on the configured preferred access server for the particular port.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a set of tunnels is determined that traverse a particular link connected to an intermediate node in a network. The intermediate node computes, in a coordinated path computation, paths for tunnels of the set of tunnels that do not include the particular link. The coordinated path computation considers each of the tunnels of the set of tunnels. The intermediate node selects one or more tunnels of the set of tunnels for preemption. The one or more tunnels are selected as tunnels that are reroutable by respective head-end nodes of the one or more other tunnels. Notifications are sent to one or more other intermediate nodes that inform the one or more other intermediate nodes of the one or more tunnels selected for preemption.
