Methods, systems, and computer programs for intelligent content delivery using a software defined network and edge computing

摘要

In a network, intelligent content delivery is accomplished by receiving, at an edge server, performance measures from a plurality of local edge servers. Routing policies from an analytics application in a software defined network are received in the edge server that stores address and routing information and the routing policies. The routing policies are distributed to the local edge servers. The local edge servers periodically query the edge server for any changes to the routing policies and when there is a change distributing the change to the routing policies to the local edge servers. When an anomaly is detected at the local edge server, a notification is sent to the edge server that then instructs an orchestrator server to implement the routing policies responsive to the anomaly notification.
