Request routing management based on network components
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for processing content comprising:
- providing, by a service provider, at least one identifier for causing client computing devices to generate a request for content to the service provider, the at least one identifier to be included as an embedded resource identifier provided by a content provider;
obtaining, by the service provider, a first domain name service (DNS) query from a DNS resolver component responsive to the embedded resource identifier provided by the content provider, the first DNS query corresponding to an embedded resource associated with the embedded resource identifier, and the DNS resolver component providing the first DNS query on behalf of a client computing device in accordance with a first network routing scheme;
determining, by the service provider, performance measurement information associated with the first DNS query;
generating, by the service provider, an alternative identifier responsive to the first DNS query, the alternative identifier including information for causing a second DNS query associated with the embedded resource to resolve to a domain corresponding to the service provider;
transmitting, by the service provider, the alternative identifier to the DNS resolver component;
obtaining, by the service provider, the second DNS query from the DNS resolver component associated with the client computing device, the second DNS query corresponding to a second network routing scheme;
determining, by the service provider, performance measurement information associated with the second DNS query; and
transmitting, by the service provider, information responsive to the received second DNS query, the performance measurement information associated with the first and second DNS queries corresponding to latency information corresponding to a communication latency between the DNS resolver component and a component of the service provider.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing request routing functionality associated with resource requests for one or more resources associated with a content provider are provided. A content delivery network (“CDN”) service provider, on behalf of a content provider, can process domain name service (“DNS”) requests for resources by computing devices and resolve the DNS requests by the identification of a network address of a computing device that will provide the requested resources. Based on the processing of DNS queries initiated by a client computing device, the CDN service provider can measure CDN service provider latencies associated with the generation of DNS requests by network components associated with the client computing devices. Examples of the network components can include DNS resolvers associated with the client computing devices.

1. A computer-implemented method for processing content comprising:
-
providing, by a service provider, at least one identifier for causing client computing devices to generate a request for content to the service provider, the at least one identifier to be included as an embedded resource identifier provided by a content provider; obtaining, by the service provider, a first domain name service (DNS) query from a DNS resolver component responsive to the embedded resource identifier provided by the content provider, the first DNS query corresponding to an embedded resource associated with the embedded resource identifier, and the DNS resolver component providing the first DNS query on behalf of a client computing device in accordance with a first network routing scheme; determining, by the service provider, performance measurement information associated with the first DNS query; generating, by the service provider, an alternative identifier responsive to the first DNS query, the alternative identifier including information for causing a second DNS query associated with the embedded resource to resolve to a domain corresponding to the service provider; transmitting, by the service provider, the alternative identifier to the DNS resolver component; obtaining, by the service provider, the second DNS query from the DNS resolver component associated with the client computing device, the second DNS query corresponding to a second network routing scheme; determining, by the service provider, performance measurement information associated with the second DNS query; and transmitting, by the service provider, information responsive to the received second DNS query, the performance measurement information associated with the first and second DNS queries corresponding to latency information corresponding to a communication latency between the DNS resolver component and a component of the service provider. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer-implemented method for processing content comprising:
-
obtaining, by a service provider, a first domain name service (DNS) query from a network component responsive to at least one embedded resource identifier, the first DNS query corresponding to an embedded resource associated with the embedded resource identifier, and the network component providing the first DNS query on behalf of a client computing device in accordance with a first network routing scheme; transmitting, by the service provider, an alternative identifier responsive to the DNS query from the network component, the alternative identifier to cause the network component to transmit a second DNS query associated with the embedded resource to a component associated with the service provider; obtaining, by the service provider, the second DNS query from the network component, the network component providing the second DNS query on behalf of a client computing device in accordance with a second network routing scheme; and determining, by the service provider, performance measurement information associated with the first and second DNS queries. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A computer-implemented system for processing content, the system comprising:
-
a data store for storing performance monitoring information associated with network components associated with client computing device requests for content; and a computing system in communication with said data store and associated with a service provider, the computing system including a hardware component and operative to; obtain a first domain name service (DNS) query from a network component responsive to at least one embedded resource identifier, the first DNS query corresponding to an embedded resource associated with the embedded resource identifier, and the network component providing the first DNS query on behalf of a client computing device in accordance with a first network scheme; transmit an alternative identifier responsive to the first DNS query from the network component, the alternative identifier to cause the network component to transmit a second DNS query associated with the embedded resource to a component associated with the service provider; obtain the second DNS query from the network component, the network component providing the second DNS query on behalf of a client computing device in accordance with a second network scheme; and determine performance information associated with the first and second DNS queries. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
