Abstract
Content servers are directed to send messages to network nodes which are used to obtain IP addresses and to receive responses from the network nodes. The responses provide network service information. The content servers collect data based on the responses and feed the data to a routing server. Based on the data fed to the routing server, respective choices of content servers are selected and provided to the network nodes to respond to clients requesting content server addresses from the network nodes.
