A content delivery network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers (network) that deliver webpages and other Web content to a user based on the geographic locations of the user, the origin of the webpage and a content delivery server. Meaning everybody using smartphones, PCs, and the Internet have already been using CDN (Content Delivery Network) services, and will continue to use CDN services for their entire life. Obviously, CDN technology is very important in today's technology world. These works focus on the load balancing Algorithm and architecture of CDN technology. Describing in details the how the contents being distributed through surrogate servers across the world and how the load balancing algorithm works. Furthermore, this study takes some time to discuss some existing commercial architecture like Akamai to give the reader some inside into the current design of the CDN architecture as to the changes and improvements in some sectors. Finally the book also shows the process of bouncing through a CDN is nearly transparent to the user. The only way a user would know if a CDN has been accessed is if the delivered URL is different than the URL that has been requested.
