Résumé

The exponential growth of Internet traffic has created a huge demand for techniques that improve the speed and efficiency of data delivery. One of the most important emerging approaches in this area is the use of a content distribution network (CDN), which involves employing several distributed sites to improve the scalability and responsiveness of applications. Written for network operators, ISPs, network architects, researchers, and advanced computer science students alike, here is a much-needed comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of a content distribution network. It describes the components that make up a CDN, delineates the different technologies that can be used within the network, and illustrates how several Web-based applications can be accelerated using a CDN.
