Abstract
A method and request router (RR) are provided for dynamically pooling resources in a Content Delivery Network (CDN), for efficient delivery of live and on-demand content. The method comprises receiving, at the RR, a request for a content from a client, determining a content type associated with the request for the content, the content type being one of: live content and on-demand content. The method also comprises, based on the determined content type, dynamically electing, at the RR, delivery nodes at edge, region or core for content delivery and grouping the dynamically elected nodes into a resource pool, selecting a delivery node within the resource pool for delivering the content and sending a response to the client including an address of the delivery node selected within the resource pool to be used to get the requested content.
