Hello, I am wondering if somebody can point me to the links where I can found information about Content Delivery Network Solutions used in the market today. I need to know about the technology and how the solution/company (such as Akamai) caters its customers. Do they mirror the content across their server's network? If this is the case then how a request is directed to the closest and lightly loaded server on Internet?
There are other hardware (GSLB on F5, BigIP and Cisco CSS) and software (ultraDNS) solutions in the market as well but its difficult to relate those with a CDN solution such as of Akamai's or others. Does anybody have experience with F5 or BigIP GSLB solutions? I would appreciate if somebody can help me out here as well. Thanks, Huda
