• receive address requests from end user devices for network addresses with which to request content cached by cache nodes in an edge network on behalf of one or more content origins served by the edge network;
• and
• for at least an address request of the address requests:
• identify a profile to which an end user device belongs based at least on a network address of the end user device;
