摘要:
The prohibitive cost of deploying a sophisticated DNS-based CDN makes anycast-based CDN an attractive alternative for new or small CDN operators. In anycast-based CDNs, user requests are naturally routed to the "closest" server determined by Internet routing. For the operators, however, this comes at a cost-loss of control-how the traffic is routed is entirely at the mercy of BGP routing. The "closest" server may be overloaded, or simply not the best choice. This "loss of control" undermines the scalability of anycast-based CDN architectures. To have control over how traffic is routed, existing work either requires adding a large amount of complexity to the system (high Capex/Opex) or is unable to achieve precise and fine-grained control. This paper proposes T-SAC, a scalable anycast-based CDN architecture that capitalizes on the programmability and flexibility of SDN/NFV, enabling fine-grained traffic redirection among CDN servers. T-SAC achieves precise control by leveraging a load-based redirection algorithm and a single 1-bit no-redirect flag. We implement T-SAC in the real system and evaluate its performance from various aspects using DASH and web applications. The results show that T-SAC is capable of redirecting the right amount of traffic at the right time to the right servers, making the system highly scalable.
