    Abstract: Systems and methods for sloppy routing are provided. A client transmits a DNS query corresponding to a requested resource to a content delivery network (CDN) service provider. In some embodiments, the CDN service provider processes the DNS query to determine whether a threshold content delivery bandwidth has been exceeded by data links at cache servers. In other embodiments, additionally or alternatively, the CDN service provider determines whether a content provider has exceeded a threshold network usage that indicates a price at which the CDN service provider to provide content on behalf of the content provider. Using both or either of these thresholds, the CDN service provider can further process the DNS query by providing an alternative resource identifier or a cache IP address, both associated with an alternative POP. In some embodiments, the CDN service provider determines a routing mode for the response to the DNS query.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described that enable the mitigation of network attacks directed to specific sets of content on a content delivery system. A set of content targeted in the attack may be identified based at least in part on a combination of network addresses to which attacked-related packets are transmitted. Thereafter, the content delivery system may mitigate the attack based on the identified target. For example, where both targeted and non-targeted sets of content are associated with the attacked network addresses, traffic directed to these sets of content may be separated, e.g., in order to reduce the impact of the attack on the non-targeted sets of content or increase the computing resources available to the targeted content. Redirection of traffic may occur using either or both of resolution-based redirection or routing-based redirection.

    Abstract: An edge system receives requests from user devices to retrieves files from an origin server. Instead of retrieving the files as fast as possible, the edge system throttles the retrieval of files to a rate that just exceeds the speed at which the file is played by a browser or media player. The edge system determines an appropriate retrieval rate based on the contents of the file itself. For example, a manifest file associated with the file can indicate a time it takes to play back content and a bitrate of the content. Thus, the edge server can use this information to retrieve a file from an origin server at a rate that is just fast enough to minimize playback interruption. The retrieval rate determined by the edge server therefore does not rely on how fast or slow the user device retrieves the file from the edge server.

    Abstract: An origin server that is implemented within one or more devices within a third party virtual private cloud (VPC) is provided herein. Instead of communicating with various CDNs over a public network, the third party VPC may instead communicate with a managed VPC via a private network. Thus, no gateway, network address translation (NAT), or other such devices may be needed for the third party VPC and the managed VPC to communicate. Rather, a VPC identifier of the managed VPC and a VPC identifier of the third party VPC are used to pair the two VPCs. Once paired, a private route is set up such that points from the private address space of the third party VPC to the private address space of the managed VPC. The managed VPC then communicates directly with the various CDNs via a public network.
