Optimizing selection of gateways based on location and user experience related metrics
Described embodiments provide systems and methods for selecting a device via which to access a server. A service having one or more processors coupled with memory may detect a measure of experience for a client device in accessing a server via a first device being below a threshold. The service may identify, responsive to the detection, a plurality of devices available for the client device to access the server. The service may determine a distance between each of the plurality of devices and at least one of the client device or the server. The service may select a second device from the plurality of devices via which the client device is to access the server based at least on the distance between the second device and at least one of the client device or the server.
1. A method of selecting a device via which to access a server, comprising:
detecting, by a service, a measure of experience for a client device in accessing a server via a first device being below a threshold;
identifying, by the service responsive to the detection, a plurality of devices available for the client device to access the server;
determining, by the server, a distance between each of the plurality of devices and at least one of the client device or the server, responsive to identifying a latency between the first device and one of the client device or the server as below the threshold; and
selecting, by the server, a second device from the plurality of devices via which the client device is to access the server based at least on the distance between the second device and at least one of the client device or the server.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the measure of experience further comprises identifying at least one of a latency between the first device and the server or a latency between the client device and the first device, as below the threshold.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the plurality of devices further comprises identifying the plurality of devices with which the client device was previously connected, responsive to a latency between the client and the first device being below the threshold.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the plurality of devices further comprises identifying the plurality of devices with which the server was previously connected, responsive to a latency between the first device and the server being below the threshold.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the distance further comprises identifying, using a previously establish session, a location of at least one of the first device, the client device, or at least one of the devices.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing, by the service, information on the measure of experience for the client device in accessing the server via the first device and the distance between each of the plurality of devices and at least one of the client device or the server.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the service responsive to the first device matching the second device selected from the plurality of devices, that the first device is to be continued for use by the client device in accessing the server.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the service responsive to the first device not matching the second device selected from the plurality of devices, that a distance between the first device and at least one of the client device and the server is a cause of the measure of experience being below the threshold.
9. A system for selecting a device via which to access a server, comprising:
a service having one or more processors coupled with memory, configured to:
detect a measure of experience for a client device in accessing a server via a first device being below a threshold;
identify, responsive to the detection, a plurality of devices available for the client device to access the server;
determine a distance between each of the plurality of devices and at least one of the client device or the server, responsive to identifying a latency between the first device and one of the client device or the server as below the threshold; and
select a second device from the plurality of devices via which the client device is to access the server based at least on the distance between the second device and at least one of the client device or the server.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the service is further configured to identify at least one of a latency between the first device and the server or a latency between the client device and the first device, as below the threshold.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the service is further configured to identify the plurality of devices with which the client device was previously connected, responsive to a latency between the client and the first device being below the threshold.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the service is further configured to identify the plurality of devices with which the server was previously connected, responsive to a latency between the first device and the server being below the threshold.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the service is further configured to provide information on the measure of experience for the client device in accessing the server via the first device and the distance between each of the plurality of devices and at least one of the client device or the server.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the service is further configured to determine, responsive to the first device matching the second device selected from the plurality of devices, that the first device is to be continued for use by the client device in accessing the server.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the service is further configured to determine, responsive to the first device not matching the second device selected from the plurality of devices, that a distance between the first device and at least one of the client device and the server is a cause of the measure of experience being below the threshold.
16. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program instructions for causing one or more processors to:
detect a measure of experience for a client device in accessing a server via a first device being below a threshold;
identify, responsive to the detection, a plurality of devices available for the client device to access the server;
determine a distance between each of the plurality of devices and at least one of the client device or the server, responsive to identifying a latency between the first device and one of the client device or the server as below the threshold; and
select a second device from the plurality of devices via which the client device is to access the server based at least on the distance between the second device and at least one of the client device or the server.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the program instructions further cause the one or more processors to identify at least one of a latency between the first device and the server or a latency between the client device and the first device, as below the threshold.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the program instructions further cause the one or more processors to provide information on the measure of experience for the client device in accessing the server via the first device and the distance between each of the plurality of devices and at least one of the client device or the server.
