rawlinp opened a new pull request #2337: Geolocation-based client steering URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-trafficcontrol/pull/2337 By being able to assign coordinates to a delivery service through the Origin API, we can now use that data to optimally sort the list of targets of type `STEERING_GEO_ORDER` and `STEERING_GEO_WEIGHT` in a CLIENT_STEERING delivery service based upon the total distance from client->edge->origin. This makes the most sense when used for target DSes of type HTTP_LIVE or HTTP_NO_CACHE (basically any HTTP type that bypasses the mid tier). The effect is that clients will prefer targets with the shortest possible path all the way from the client to the edge to the origin. If there are multiple paths with the same distance, the client will be directed towards the nearest edge first.
