Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of the performance of content distribution
networks. The effectiveness of a content distribution network depends
on many factors, including the type of hosted application, cache-hit
rate, average round-trip time between clients and servers, and the
architecture of the content distribution network. Using a linear model
for the client-perceived response time, we describe the effect of
some of these factors and provide guidelines for evaluation of content
distribution networks. In particular, we show that to reduce response
time of a content distribution network compared to a single server system,
a high cache-hit rate and careful placement of surrogates is required.
