[0033] Other implementations may have multiple Active Directories. Users of the system can be divided among multiple active directories in order to distribute the load. Additionally, other Active Directories can be used redundantly so that if one Active Directory goes offline, the other Active Directory can absorb the load.

[0034] In some implementations, the origin server 108 provides sources of content objects, directs users to preferred sources of content objects, and provides directory information to the active directory 104 . The origin server 108 introduces content objects to the system 100 . Introduction involves selection by an origin server administrator of content objects to be made available to Active Directory 104 . A manager may be a person or system that manages origin server 108 . A content object may include previously stored information or a streaming feed of information. On a predetermined basis, origin server 108 provides a catalog of selected informat...

[0093] Other embodiments may transmit metadata in any type of data channel, not just through HTTP headers. For example, metadata can travel through dedicated ports, IP addresses, URLs, headers, or other logical channels.

[0094] Preference information 512 is the result of network analysis performed from the perspective of client computer 112 . When a content object is requested, preference information 512 is passed to content object manager 312, which in turn selects an appropriate content exchange 116 for client computer 112. The preference information 512 may be updated periodically (eg, every hour) by automatic testing or manually by the user. Subsequent tests take into account previous results in order to efficiently consider preferred content exchanges. For example, a first analysis may examine 100 content exchanges, while subsequent analyzes may exclude poorer performing content exchanges so that only 50 are analyzed.

[0095] Preference information 512 includes a li...

Abstract

A method for indicating holistic health of a server to various client computers in a content distribution system. The method includes monitoring various status indicia of the server and combining the various indicia into a single indicia. The single indicia is then distributed to various client computers. The client computers use the single indicia to influence routing of content from the content distribution to the client computer.

Description

[0001] This application benefits from US Provisional Application No. 60 / 209,007, filed June 1,2000. technical field [0002] The present invention generally relates to monitoring and reporting the status of servers in a network. More particularly, the invention relates to collecting various status indicators from servers and distributing a single server status indicator to other computers in the network. Background technique [0003] Content needs to be made available on the Internet. However, when content is provided over the Internet, the content is often delivered through computers and switches that are not particularly suited to delivering the content. For example, a computer may be under heavy load and will not be able to perform transfer operations well. To ensure that the computer is functioning properly, the operating characteristics of the computer may be monitored. [0004] Historically, the operating characteristics of a computer have been monitored by issuing ...
