Abstract
An off-path or in-path connection-ordering update (COU) function enables the relative priorities of network and compute metrics to be fine-tuned when generating global utility values used to generate a re-ordered list from an initial list of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses corresponding to a domain name identified by an application client. The initial list may contain IP addresses of edge servers corresponding to the domain name. The re-ordered list may contain either (i) the (re-ordered) edge-server IP addresses or (ii) IP address pairs identifying the (re-ordered) edge-server IP addresses and IP addresses of corresponding egress edge routers of an intervening routing network also having an ingress edge router connected to the application client.
