Abstract
An apparatus comprising a traffic engineering (TE) and server selection (SS) component configured to couple to an SS component and operate at a first time scale based on SS policies from the SS component, wherein the SS is configured to operate at a second timescale based on TE policies from the TE and SS component, and wherein the second timescale has a finer time granularity than the first time scale by at least one order of magnitude. Also disclosed is a network component comprising a receiver configured to receive one or more SS policies from a content provider or customer node, a logic circuit configured to compute a plurality of joint TE and SS policies for a plurality of network nodes based on the received SS policies, and a transmitter configured to send the joint TE and SS components to the content provider or customer node.
