Abstract

The disclosure herein describes establishing an endpoint within a network for a customer to reduce latency of the customer's network. Latency data associated with accessing a first endpoint within a network by end user devices from a plurality of geographic regions is collected, wherein the end user devices are associated with a plurality of customers. Performance scores for the geographic regions are calculated based on the latency data. A subset of the performance scores of one of the plurality of customers is selected. A second endpoint is identified within the network for the one of the plurality of customers based on the selected performance scores. The second endpoint is established for the one of the plurality customers for network traffic originating from the one or more of the geographic regions to reduce latency. The analysis of the network traffic data for customers improves network performance.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system for selecting an endpoint within a network to reduce latency, the system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and comprising computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
collect latency data associated with accessing a first endpoint within a network by a plurality of end user devices from a plurality of geographic regions, the plurality of end user devices being associated with a plurality of customers;
calculate performance scores for the plurality of geographic regions based at least on the collected latency data;
select a subset of the calculated performance scores based on network traffic of end user devices of one of the plurality of customers, the network traffic originating from one or more of the plurality of geographic regions;
identify, based on the selected subset of the performance scores and a volume of the network traffic from the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions, a second endpoint within the network for the one of the plurality of customers;
and
establish, within the network for the one of the plurality of customers, the second endpoint for the network traffic originating from the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions to reduce latency.

6 more elements

A computerized method for selecting an endpoint within a network to reduce latency, the method comprising:

collecting, by a processor, latency data associated with accessing a first endpoint within a network by a plurality of end user devices from a plurality of geographic regions, the plurality of end user devices being associated with a plurality of customers;
calculating, by the processor, performance scores for the plurality of geographic regions based at least on the collected latency data;
selecting, by the processor, a subset of the calculated performance scores based on network traffic of end user devices of one of the plurality of customers, the network traffic originating from one or more of the plurality of geographic regions;
identifying, by the processor, based on the selected subset of the performance scores and a volume of the network traffic from the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions, a second endpoint within the network for the one of the plurality of customers;
and
establishing, by the processor, within the network for the one of the plurality of customers, the second endpoint for the network traffic originating from the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions to reduce latency.

3 more elements

One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions for selecting an endpoint within a network to reduce latency that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to at least:

collect latency data associated with accessing a first endpoint within a network by a plurality of end user devices from a plurality of geographic regions, the plurality of end user devices being associated with a plurality of customers;
calculate performance scores for the plurality of geographic regions based at least on the collected latency data;
select a subset of the calculated performance scores based on network traffic of end user devices of one of the plurality of customers, the network traffic originating from one or more of the plurality of geographic regions;
identify, based on the selected subset of the performance scores and a volume of the network traffic from the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions, a second endpoint within the network for the one of the plurality of customers;
and
establish, within the network for the one of the plurality of customers, the second endpoint for the network traffic originating from the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions to reduce latency.
