CDN Service Distribution Device Idle Traffic Redirection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Content delivery network (CDN) service providers face issues with traffic loss due to unused traffic and delayed service provisioning, as they charge based on data throughput or traffic value, leading to wasted capacity and lengthy setup processes.
Innovation Solution
A service distribution device and method that monitors idle traffic across CDN service domains, determines available domains for service requests based on idle traffic, and redirects requests to optimize traffic usage, thereby reducing waste and streamlining service deployment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If CDN service providers charge based on data throughput or traffic value, then revenue is generated, but traffic loss occurs due to unused capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple service domains into a single CDN service domain, allowing idle traffic capacity from one domain to be utilized by another domain. This merging eliminates unused traffic capacity and reduces overall traffic loss while maintaining service delivery efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables a single CDN service domain to serve multiple service domains universally. The CDN infrastructure becomes multi-functional, handling traffic for different services through domain redirection, thereby maximizing resource utilization and eliminating idle capacity.
2Reliability
If a content provider attends to various procedures for providing a new CDN service, then service quality is ensured, but service provisioning is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring domain redirection rules and establishing the CDN service domain in advance. When a new service needs to be provisioned, the system can quickly redirect to the existing CDN domain without requiring time-consuming setup procedures, thus reducing provisioning time while maintaining service quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a domain redirection mechanism as an intermediary layer between the new service and the CDN infrastructure. This mediator handles the complexity of service provisioning in the background, allowing rapid service deployment without compromising service quality through automated domain switching.
Data Source
AI summary
A device for improving the use efficiency of a content delivery network (CDN) service and an operating method of a service distribution device are provided. The operating method includes receiving a service request signal from one or more electronic devices, determining an available domain for the service request signal based on the amount of idle traffic of one or more service domains in response to the reception of the service request signal, and transmitting a service response signal that includes the available domain information to the one or more electronic devices.
