    Abstract: A hybrid content request routing system is described herein. The hybrid content request routing system may use aspects of the anycast routing technique and aspects of the domain name server (DNS) resolver-based routing technique to identify the appropriate network address to provide to a user device in response to receiving a DNS query. For example, the hybrid content request routing system may include one or more points of presence (POPs), with some or all of the POPs forming one or more virtual POPs. Individual POPs may be assigned unique network addresses and POPs that form a virtual POP may be assigned the same anycast network address. The hybrid content request routing system can measure latencies from user devices to the individual POP network addresses and to the anycast network addresses and use the measured latencies to identify the network address that may result in the lowest latency.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable a DNS service to encode information into a network address to be advertised by the DNS service. Information encoded by a DNS service may include, for example, an identifier of a content set to which the network address corresponds (e.g., a domain name) and validity information, such as a digital signature, that verifies the validity of the network address. On receiving a request to communicate with the network address, a destination device associated with the network address may decode the encoded information within the network address to assist in processing the request. In some instances, the encoded information may be used to identify malicious network transmissions, such as transmissions forming part of a network attack, potentially without reliance on other data, such as separate mappings or contents of the data transmission.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable routing of network communications in a content delivery system in a manner expected not to exceed the capacity of individual communication links of points of presence (POPs) within the content delivery system. Specifically, a route mapping service is disclosed that can determine the effect of potential DNS records on volumes of traffic expected to reach a POP through individual communication links, and that can alter DNS records such that the expected traffic does not exceed a capacity of those individual communication links. Illustratively, the DNS records may be altered at a level of individual DNS resolvers interacting with the content delivery system, and the volumes of traffic expected to reach a POP through individual communication links can be determined based on a volume of traffic of client computing devices associated with an individual DNS resolver.
