Creating Coverage Zone Files

This appendix describes the Coverage Zone file and provides several Coverage Zone file examples.

Introduction

A Coverage Zone file is an XML file used to specify a user-defined coverage zone. The Coverage Zone file supports different tags to support different types of proximity configurations.

•Network and subnet—Specify the IP address range

•Geographical location—Specify the longitude and latitude of the data center

In addition to the coverage zone information, two optional elements are created for documentation purposes: a revision value to specify the version of the Coverage Zone file and a customer name.

For information about importing or uploading a Coverage Zone file, see the "Coverage Zone File Registration" section on page 6-9.

For more information about Coverage Zone files, see the "Coverage Zone File" section on page 1-21.

Coverage Zone files can be created using any ASCII text-editing tool. You can use a single coverage zone text-format file to define all the coverage zones for your CDS network.

Table C-1 defines the Coverage Zone file elements.

Table C-1 Coverage Zone File Elements 

Tag
Element
Value
Description

location

latitude

float

Value indicating the geographical coordinate (latitude) of the data center.

longitude

float

Value indicating the geographical coordinate (longitude) of the data center.

coverageZone

network

IP address

Coverage zone IP address range.

SE

Service Engine name (string)

Specifies the Service Engines serving the coverage zone specified in the network element. This can have one or more elements.

metric

integer

Value indicating the proximity of the Service Engine to the end user. The lower the value, the closer the Service Engine is to the end user.

location

 

Value indicating the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the data center.

CDNNetwork

revision

1.0

Not used in this CDS release.

customerName

customer name

Not used in this CDS release.

coverageZone

 

This can have one or more coverage zones.


Note The metric value of a default coverage zone is set to 20. If a particular SE is preferred for a user-defined coverage zone, the metric value in the Coverage Zone file should be set to a value less than 20. If a default coverage zone is preferred, then the metric value in the Coverage Zone file should be set to a value greater than 20.

Coverage Zone XML Schema

The XML Schema file describes and dictates the content of the XML file. The coveragezone.xsd file contains the XML schema.

The following code is the Coverage Zone XML schema: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
