Method and apparatus for content distribution network brokering and peering
Alexandros Biliris,Charles D. Cranor,Fred Douglis,Cooper Nelson,Michael Rabinovich,Sandeep Sibal,Oliver Spatscheck,Walter Sturm +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an architecture that leverages multiple content distribution networks to provide enhanced services, where a share of content requests are served by each of a plurality of distribution networks.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Ursa minor: versatile cluster-based storage
Michael Abd-El-Malek,William V. Courtright Ii,Charles D. Cranor,Gregory R. Ganger,James Hendricks,Andrew J. Klosterman,Michael Mesnier,Manish Prasad,Brandon Salmon,Raja R. Sambasivan,Shafeeq Sinnamohideen,John D. Strunk,Eno Thereska,Matthew Wachs,Jay J. Wylie +14 more
TL;DR: Experiments with Ursa Minor show performance benefits of 2-3× when using specialized choices as opposed to a single, more general, configuration, and that a single cluster supporting multiple workloads simultaneously is much more efficient when the choices are specialized for each distribution.
Proceedings Article
A Precise and Efficient Evaluation of the Proximity Between Web Clients and Their Local DNS Servers
Zhuoqing Morley Mao,Charles D. Cranor,Fred Douglis,Michael Rabinovich,Oliver Spatscheck,Jia Wang +5 more
TL;DR: A novel, precise, and efficient technique for finding the associations of client to local DNS servers and concludes that DNS is good for very coarse-grained server selection, since 64% of the associations belong to the same Autonomous System.

Method for content-aware redirection and content renaming
Charles D. Cranor,Raman Gopalakrishnan,Matthew Green,Charles Robert Kalmanek,David Hilton Shur,Sandeep Sibal,Jacobus Van der Merwe +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a content-aware redirection and content exchange/content discovery mechanism is proposed that allows a request for content to be redirected to a particular advantageous server that can serve the content.
