Integrated Adaptive Anycast For Content Distribution

A method, comprising:

• determining, by utilizing instructions from a memory that are executed by a processor, a serving region for a requestor associated with a content request based on determining that the requestor is connecting through a same ingress point of a network as other requestors belonging to the serving region;
• and
• adjusting, in response to a status of a first cache server of the serving region being determined to be an offline status or an overloaded status, routing of an anycast address to direct the content request that is sent to the anycast address to a unicast address of a second cache server of the serving region.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which, when loaded and executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• determining a serving region for a requestor associated with a content request based on determining that the requestor is connecting through a same ingress point of a network as other requestors belonging to the serving region;
• and
• modifying, in response to a status of a first cache server of the serving region being determined to be an offline status or an overloaded status, routing of an anycast address to direct the content request that is sent to the anycast address to a unicast address of a second cache server of the serving region.
