Determining a custom content delivery network is disclosed. This can comprise determining a custom content delivery network (CCDN) based on information determined by an intelligent software-defined network (ISDN). An ISDN can receive a content request and related information from a user equipment (UE). The ISDN can determine CCDN information that can be employed to provision a transport network corresponding to the CCDN information. The transport network can be customized based on the content request and the related information. Moreover, as the related information changes, the transport network can be correspondingly updated. Some embodiments disclose an ISDN operating on a virtual machine in a cloud-computing environment.
