Abstract:
A method for designating a class of data content for determining how the content will be handled by a content delivery network (CDN) into one of: a transport designation by which content is transported from an entrance node to one or more edge nodes; a caching designation by which the content is stored at one or more edge nodes; and a hybrid designation by which content is stored at a node in the CDN for subsequent transport to one or more edge nodes in the CDN, the method comprising: determining a set of one or more transport designation options; determining a set of one or more caching designation options; determining a set of one or more hybrid designation options; determining a normalised measure resource requirement for each of the transport, caching and hybrid designation options; and selecting one designation option for the class of content from all of the transport, caching and hybrid designation options by an optimisation function for selecting the designation option based on the determined normalised resource requirement for each option.

Claim (Index 17):
A computer program element comprising computer program code to, when loaded into a computer system having a processor and executed thereon, causes the processor to select a designation option of a class of data content, for delivery via a content delivery network (CDN) to content consumers, the CDN including: an entrance node through which the content enters the CDN; one or more intermediate nodes through which the content traverses the CDN; and one or more edge nodes for delivering the content to the content consumers, and the designation of the content determining how the content will be handled by the CDN as one of: a transport designation by which content is transported from the entrance node to one or more edge nodes; a caching designation by which the content is stored at one or more edge nodes; and a hybrid designation by which content is stored at a node in the CDN for subsequent transport to one or more edge nodes in the CDN,\n the computer program code causing the processor to perform the selection by carrying out the following steps: determining a set of one or more transport designation options each identifying a set of nodes and links between nodes for transporting the content from the entrance node to one or more edge nodes for delivery to content consumers; determining a set of one or more caching designation options each identifying a set of edge nodes for storage of the content; determining a set of one or more hybrid designation options each identifying a set of nodes for storage of the content and a set of nodes and links between nodes for transporting the stored content to edge nodes; determining a normalised measure resource requirement for each of the transport, caching and hybrid designation options; and selecting one designation option for the class of content from all of the transport, caching and hybrid designation options by an optimisation function for selecting the designation option based on the determined normalised resource requirement for each option.
