Abstract
Automated steady state traffic management is provided for a distributed platform through immediate or real-time simulation of the capacity and performance impacts associated with shifting different load increments to different Points-of-presence (PoPs) of the distributed platform and by automatic and dynamic traffic management reconfiguration in response to an optimal set of changes identified from the simulation. A system produces data models to track the current distributed platform state and detect deviates from the steady state. Using the data models and scoring functions, the system scores the impact that different shifts of load to different destinations have on the overall distributed platform. The scoring reveals the optimal set of traffic management configuration changes that restore the steady state with the least capacity and performance impact.
