Request routing management based on network components
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented 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 resource identifier, the first DNS query corresponding to a resource associated with the 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; and
determine an alternative identifier responsive to the first DNS query from the network component, the alternative identifier to cause a second DNS query associated with the resource to be transmitted from the network component to a component associated with the service provider utilizing a second network scheme, and the determination of the alternative identifier being based on additional information provided in a DNS portion of the first DNS query.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing requesting 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 device.
