Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for a content delivery network that caches content for delivery to end user devices is presented. In one example, a method includes assigning prefixed network addresses for the sites of the content delivery network, with ones of the prefixed network addresses indicating associated pathways for routing network traffic to reach the sites over more than one backhaul packet network. The method includes announcing groups of the prefixed network addresses to selected ones of the backhaul packet networks, with each to the groups comprising a backhaul network-independent prefixed network address, a backhaul network-specific prefixed network address, and a failover prefixed network address. The method includes receiving the network traffic at the sites over ones of the backhaul packet networks that are selected among for routing the network traffic by source network addresses indicated in content requests issued from the sites.
