In order to meet the scale and quality demands imposed by users, content providers have started to spread demand across a variety of CDNs using a broker. Brokers break many traditional CDN assumptions (e.g., unexpected traffic skew, significant variance in demand over short timescales, etc.). Through an analysis of data from a leading broker and a leading CDN, we show the potential challenges and opportunities that brokers impart on content delivery. We take the first steps towards improvement through a redesigned broker-CDN interface.”, booktitle = “Workshop on Hot Topics in Networking (HotNets)”, pages = “127–133”, numpages = “7”, location = “Atlanta, GA, USA”, series = “HotNets ‘16” }
