Abstract
A system includes a plurality of edge routers and a route controller. The edge routers are configured to direct requests from a client system to one of a plurality of cache servers. Each of the cache servers is configured to provide content to the client system in response to the requests. The route controller is configured to receive demand information from the edge routers, estimate an optimal request distribution based on the demand information using a bicriteria approximation algorithm, and provide each of the edge routers with route information.
