<p>Content placement algorithm is an integral part of the cloud-based content de-livery network. They are responsible for selecting a precise content to be re-posited over the surrogate servers distributed over a geographical region. Although various works are being already carried out in this sector, there are loopholes connected to most of the work, which doesn't have much disclosure. It is already known that quality of service, quality of experience, and the cost is always an essential objective targeting to be improved in existing work. Still, there are various other aspects and underlying reasons which are equally important from the design aspect. Therefore, this paper contributes towards reviewing the existing approaches of content placement algorithm over cloud-based content delivery network targeting to explore open-end re-search issues.</p>

Content Delivery Network (CDN) system aims to upgrade the performance of content delivery to end-users of popular websites. It replicates the contents at different geographic locations to serve from the point closer to them. It supports to bring network and as a result web performance to next level. For proper utilization of CDN resources, it is significant to efficiently distribute popular contents over surrogate servers. Most of the CDNs have a large number of surrogate servers. This requires coordination between the surrogate servers to improve overall capability of a CDN system while limiting the cost. This paper suggests a technique to efficiently distribute contents over surrogate servers that cooperate with one another to improve quality of service (QoS) of web content delivery to clients (end-users) in terms of response time.

Mobile broadband utilizing Long-Term Evolution (LTE) has advanced the field of data transmission; with networks capable of providing broadband speeds to mobile broadband users. There has been a sporadic increase in the utilization of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks, but due to the rapid growth and utilization of network links and network services, certain issues begin to rise, such as the issue of poor Quality of Service (QoS) perceived by mobile users. Data network quality of service degrades over time when network cannot keep up with the growing demand for the network resources. The research reviewed various existing content delivery network models in order to understand the overall architecture and operations. An optimized model was developed and integrated into the existing Long-Term Evolution network models. The model was evaluated using the Network Simulator (NS-3) and Quality of Service (QoS) metrics, such as, Network Throughput, Round Trip Time, Bandwidth, Packet Loss, Jitter and Connection Ratio. The results obtained from the simulations showed that the optimized model performed better and more efficiently than previous solutions. And if implemented in Mobile Broadband, this will improve the Quality of Service, network throughput and overall performance of the network. This study concluded that cloud-based content delivery network provides a solution which would help improve the Quality of Service experience by Mobile Broadband subscribers. By actively redirecting network traffic to the nearest replica server on the network edge; thus, increasing efficiency and throughput.


The online access has been increasing rapidly with the digitization of information, cheaper Internet service and affordable devices to access the Internet. This entails for not only handling increasing number of web requests but also meeting Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of end-users. Content Delivery Network (CDN) system is used to make better the performance of origin server by storing the popular contents on surrogate servers. The contents are disseminated to the web users through surrogate servers. The performance of CDN system relies on the selection of appropriate surrogate server to satisfy end-users’ requests. The proposed method named Load Balancing using Neighbors and Utility Computing (LBNUC) takes into account requests arrival rate, load on surrogate servers, end-users’ changing demand and capacity of surrogate servers. The aim is efficient utilization of CDN resources to minimize the time required to serve end-users requests and the cost of servicing requests. This method is also effective in handling of flash crowd situation by monitoring request rate. It handles this situation with support from neighbor surrogate servers and arranging additional resources, if required, through utility computing to meet QoS requirement of end-users.

Cloud providers give storage access and efficient content placement and delivery services to content providers by optimizing cloud-based content delivery. The cost-efficient model should not only consider the content delivery cost but also the storage cost associated with the cloud network. In this article, a novel cloud-based content delivery model is proposed that uses shared storage models for cost optimization in content delivery. Shared storages are placed in different areas of the content delivery network and an efficient replica placement strategy is employed using optimization techniques. Different content delivery schemes are used in proposed model for different situations and overall content delivery cost is optimized. Experimental results show better performance and lesser cost in terms of storage, traffic and latency and also satisfy Quality-of-Service (QoS) and Quality-of-Experience (QoE) in content delivery using PSO when compared to ACO and GA.

Cloud computing is a technology to store, process, and manage the data virtually over remote data centers through the internet. Due to the rapid growth of cloud services, the content distribution network broadly uses them to deliver data all over the globe. Due to the rapid generation of the data, delivering on the network is a challenging problem. As the number of replicas increases, the storage cost will be increased. This is a major issue in cloud-based content delivery networks. To overcome this issue, the authors developed a new model for cloud-based CDN with cost optimization algorithm STLM (storage, traffic, latency, cost minimization) to reduce the number of replicas in order to optimize the cost of storage and cost of content delivery. The authors have compared their proposed STLM algorithm with other existing algorithms. They adopt simulation with YouTube e-learning data retrieval. The proposed algorithm is used to place the contents in an efficient way to the geologically dispersed proxy servers in the cloud to encounter quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE).

Web content delivery is based on client-server model. In this model, all the web requests for specific contents are serviced by a single web server as the requested contents reside only on one server. Therefore, with the increasing reliance on the web, the load on the web servers is increasing, thus causing scalability, reliability and performance issues for the web service providers. Various techniques have been implemented to handle these issues and improve the Quality of Service of the web content delivery to end-users such as clustering of servers, client-side caching, proxy server caching, mirroring of servers, multihoming and Content Delivery Network (CDN). This paper gives an analytical and comparative look on these approaches. It also compares CDN with other distributed systems such as grid, cloud and peer-to-peer computing.
