DNS-based Request Routing

• How to select CDN node?


– Reduce server load:
• Round Robin
• Least connections
– Select server with least active connections
– Improves server response time
– Reduce latency:
• Round Trip Time
– Map client IP to RTT to each CDN server
– Select lower RTT
• Geographically
– Geolocalize client IP
– Route request to CDN nearest node

CDN Distribution and
Management
• Content selection • Content-sourcing
and delivery – Push-based
– Empirical • Cooperative
– Popularity – Pull-based
• Cooperative
• Replica placement
• Non-cooperative
– Single vs Multi-ISP
• Cache management
– Hot-spot

Cooperative Push-based CDNs

• Customers upload content to CDN


• CDN redistributes content across the
servers
• Flexibility
– User specifies:
• What content must be uploaded
• Expiration time
• Update time
• Bandwidth saving
– Content is only uploaded when it is new or must
be updated
