Method of distributing files through a content delivery network based also on artificial intelligence algorithms, telematic system and servers that allow to implement it

Abstract

An edge server ( 1510 ) of a Content Delivery Network ( 2000 ) comprises an electronic communication unit adapted to be connected to a telematic network and a processing electronic unit adapted to process data packages received and to be transmitted by the electronic communication unit; the processing electronic unit comprises a first storage sub-unit suitable adapted to store contents and a second storage sub-unit adapted to store configuration information related to a home Point Of Presence ( 1500 ) of the edge server ( 1510 ); the electronic processing unit is programmed to deal with content requests, so that in response to a request for a content if it is, in whole or in part, locally possessed, sends the content and otherwise determines a server address ( 1520, 1610 ) by performing a mathematical calculation on a name of the content taking into account configuration information, and causes a request related to the content to be sent to the server address ( 1520, 1610 ); at least the choice of server can also be influenced by artificial intelligence algorithms. Examples of embodiments of the present invention achieve high throughput and ultralow latency, i.e. they can be defined as HTULL.

1 . A server of a Content Delivery Network comprising:
 an electronic communication unit adapted to be connected to a telematic network; and   an electronic processing unit adapted to process data packages received and to be transmitted by said electronic communication unit;   wherein said electronic processing unit comprises a first storage sub-unit adapted to store contents and/or fragments of contents and a second storage sub-unit adapted to store configuration information; and   wherein said electronic processing unit is programmed such to operate as an edge server and/or as an intermediary server.
