Version 1
Features
- State Preserved Server: We preserve the on-line client state across pCDN server restarts. This means that the pCDN server can be restarted anytime without scarifying the connected clients. Administrators may restart the pCDN server for several reasons, such as power outage, hardware upgrades, or operating system updates. This new feature minimizes the service downtime without deploying additional hardware.
- Replicated Server: We support one-to-many replication for an even more robust system. CBC many deploy one or more secondary servers, which will take over the responsibility of the primary server when failures are detected. We support hot switchover, which means all the secondary servers are always initialized and can become the next primary server immediately after failures.
- Geo-Fencing: We support city-level geo-fencing in North America and country-level in other regions. Administrators configure the geo-fencing database through a user-friendly GUI, which can be remotely run at any workstations.
- Unified Admin GUI: We integrate server monitoring, content admin, and geo-fencing functionalities into a unified GUI. Administrators can remotely run this user interface and complete all their daily tasks in it.
- Peer Matching Algorithm: We support geolocation-aware sender lookups, which leverage on existing Geo-IP database to search for the best senders. By carefully selecting close-by senders, we increase the download speed as well as user satisfactory.
- Performance Tuning: We revise our protocol design, as well as implementation, for lower network overhead and a more responsive system.
