Abstract
An apparatus configured for selecting a plurality of edge-server sets, comprising: A metrics manager collects network topology information from edge servers and/or client devices. A request-routing mechanism determines a device network topology for each of a plurality of device types. For each device network topology, a device-specific edge-server set is selected. Device-specific data signals are distributed for storage on a corresponding device-specific edge-server set. A trellis-exploration algorithm can be used to determine each device-specific edge-server set.
Claims33
An apparatus configured for selecting a plurality of edge-server sets, comprising:
- a metrics manager configured to collect network topology information from at least one of a set of edge servers and a set of client devices;
- and
- a request-routing mechanism configured to:
- determine a device network topology for each of a plurality of device types;
- for each device network topology, select a device-specific edge-server set from the set of edge servers;
- and
- distribute device-specific data signals for storage on a corresponding selected device-specific edge-server set.
A server comprising a processor;
- and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including instructions stored therein and executable by the processor to:
- collect network topology information from at least one of a set of edge servers and a set of client devices;
- determine a device network topology for each of a plurality of device types;
- based on each device network topology, select a device-specific edge-server set from the edge servers for the each of the plurality of device types;
- and
- distribute device-specific data signals for storage on a corresponding selected device-specific edge-server set.
A method configured to:
- collect network topology information from at least one of a set of edge servers and a set of client devices;
- determine a device network topology for each of a plurality of device types;
- based on each device network topology, select a device-specific edge-server set from the edge servers for the each of the plurality of device types;
- and
- distribute device-specific data signals for storage on a corresponding selected device-specific edge-server set.
