A service is described that makes it easy and cost-effective to configure network traffic flowing to multiple endpoints. Enterprises and developers can easily manage the way that end-users are routed to applications running in different geographic regions. Customers can route traffic based on multiple criteria in a customer policy. Customers can manage large-scale, multi-region applications, increase application availability, and minimize latency to end-users. The service can consider the state of end-users, such as their geography, their network, and their latency to different geographic regions. The service can also consider the state of the customer's applications, such as the load on the application, the application's health, the cost of using that application (e.g., resource costs), resource states (e.g., disk throughput), resource location, customer-provided endpoint cost parameters, etc.

Network traffic management system using customer policy settings

A system, method and computer-readable medium for request routing based on prioritization and load information are provided. A client request processing a resource identifier for requested content transmits a DNS query to a content delivery network service provider. Based on a content provider identifier included in the DNS query, a receiving DNS nameserver determines a selection from a hierarchical organization of POPs and the relative capacity for a selected POP to process a subsequent request for resources. Based on the processing of the prioritization information and load information, the receiving DNS nameserver resolves the DNS query.

Request routing utilizing point of presence load information

Systems and methods for managing requesting routing functionality associated with resource requests for one or more resources associated with a content provider are provided. The request routing functionality can correspond to the processing of domain name service ('DNS') requests for resources by computing devices and the resolution of the DNS requests by the identification of a network address of a computing device that will provide the requested resources. Based on the processing resource requests initiated by a client computing device, a CDN service provider can obtain performance information from client computing devices and correlate the performance information into a prioritized list for classes of client computing devices. The prioritized list can be utilized in resolving subsequent DNS queries.
