A method for generating and delivering highlight versions of content for special case delivery through a Content Delivery Network (CDN) may include storing and distributing content in response to user requests using a plurality of edge servers, the plurality of edge servers being organized into a plurality of geographically distributed Points of Presence (POPs) in the CDN comprising a first POP that stores first content. The method may also include receiving a request for the first content and directing the request for the first content to the first POP. The method may additionally include automatically determining that the request for the first content originated from a mobile device and in response, providing a limited portion of the first content to the mobile device, wherein the limited portion of the first content comprises less than the first content.

Dynamic content transformation for multiple devices

A content delivery network (CDN) performs time varying traffic allocation. The network includes: one or more edge servers that store content corresponding to a domain name that is associated with a content provider, and are configured to deliver the content to end users in response to requests received at the edge servers from the end users; analytics information characterizing the CDN; and a traffic engine that periodically evaluates a service function as having a serve value or a shunt value for the domain name, based at least in part on the analytics information. The traffic engine transmits one or more IP addresses of the edge servers to an interface to a domain name service (DNS) while the service function has the serve value for the domain name; and transmits alternate domain name information of a different network to the interface while the service function has the shunt value.

Time based CDN traffic allocation

Systems and methods for content delivery control in a cooperative delivery system are disclosed. A rules repository stores control parameters. A content delivery network is configured to receive a request for a content object from an end-user system; receive from the rules repository a control parameter where the control parameter provides information about delivery and/or caching the content object; insert a string into a uniform resource identifier (URI) or response header for the content object; and transmit the response to or through a terminal network. The terminal network receives the response; identifies the string; identifies the control parameter; and processes delivery or storage of the content object based on the control parameter.

Delivery control for cooperative delivery systems

A system and method for delivering content to end users encrypted within a content delivery network (CDN) for content originators is disclosed. CDNs transport content for content originators to end user systems in a largely opaque manner. Caches and origin servers in the CDN are used to store content. Some or all of the content is encrypted within the CDN. When universal resource indicators (URIs) are received from an end user system, the CDN can determine the key used to decrypt the content object within the CDN before delivery. Where there is a cache miss, an origin server can be queried for the content object, which is encrypted in the CDN.
