Url refreshing method in a content delivery network (cdn)
The patent US12067069B2 outlines a method for refreshing Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) within a Content Delivery Network (CDN). The process begins with a storage device at a CDN node receiving a refresh request from a load balancing device, which includes URLs that need to be refreshed. The storage device then compares these URLs against a local database that contains URLs corresponding to source files stored on the device. The method involves deleting any URLs from the refresh request that do not exist in the database, ensuring that only valid URLs are processed for refresh operations. This approach enhances the efficiency of URL management within the CDN by ensuring that only relevant and existing URLs are refreshed.
Additionally, the patent describes a mechanism for filtering URLs based on an identification stored in the local database. This identification may include domain names, and the method allows for the transmission of filtered refresh requests to the storage device. The auxiliary device plays a role in this process by receiving refresh requests, filtering the URLs, and then sending the refined requests to the storage device for further processing. The patent also encompasses the necessary hardware components, including storage devices and auxiliary devices, which are equipped with processors and memory to execute the described methods. Overall, the patent provides a structured approach to URL management in CDNs, focusing on efficiency and accuracy in the refresh process.
