The present description is directed towards systems and methods for directing a user request for content over a network to a given content server on the basis of one or more rules. Methods and systems implemented in accordance with the present description comprise receiving a request for content form a user, the request for content including a profile of the user identifying one or more characteristics associated with the user. One or more rules are retrieved for identifying a content server to which a request for content is to be delivered, the one or more rules including at least one of business rules, network rules, and user profile rules. The one or more retrieved rules are applied to the request for content to identify a content server to which the request for content is to be delivered and the request for content is delivered to the identified content server.

System and method for global load balancing of requests for content

Methods, systems and programming for data traffic control and encryption. In one example, data traffic is received from a first node to be sent to a second node. The health of an encryption pathway between the first node and the second node is determined. The data traffic is sent to the second node over the network without going through the encryption pathway when the encryption pathway is not healthy.
