CDN configuration tuning for traffic share

A system for automatically testing content delivery network configurations, the system comprising one or more computers associated with a particular content delivery network (CDN), each having at least one hardware processor and memory storing instructions for execution on the at least one hardware processor that when executed operate the system to:

• monitor a set of content being delivered on behalf of a content provider to determine that the set of content is being delivered to end user clients by multiple content delivery networks (CDNs);
• determine a share of the set of content that is being delivered by a particular CDN of the multiple CDNs;
• responsive to said determination of the share of the set of content automatically implement one or more testing cycles, where a given testing cycle comprises:
• (i) activate a set of one or more performance features on servers of the particular CDN with respect to set of the content,
• (ii) determine an updated share of the set of content that is being delivered by the particular CDN, and,
• (iii) log the updated share of the set of content for any of reporting and permanent activation;
• wherein the set of one or more performance features are chosen to be different for each of the one or more testing cycles.

A non-transitory computer readable medium holding computer program instructions for execution on at least one hardware processor, the computer program instructions including instructions for:

• monitoring a set of content being delivered on behalf of a content provider to determine that the set of content is being delivered to end user client device by multiple content delivery networks (CDNs);
• determining a share of the set of content that is being delivered by a particular CDN of the multiple CDNs;
• responsive to said determination of the share of the set of content, automatically implementing one or more testing cycles, where a given testing cycle comprises:
• (i) activating a set of one or more performance features on servers of the particular CDN with respect to the set of content,
• (ii) determining an updated share of the set of content that is being delivered by the particular CDN, and,
• (iii) logging the updated share of the set of content for any of reporting and permanent activation;
• wherein the set of one or more performance features are chosen to be different for each of the one or testing cycles.
