Application, Workload, and Infrastructure Models for Virtualized Content Delivery Networks Deployed in Edge Computing Environments

• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are handling a large part of the traffic over the Internet and are of growing importance for management and operation of coming generations of data intensive applications. This paper addresses modeling and scaling of content-oriented applications, and presents workload, application, and infrastructure models developed in collaboration with a large-scale CDN operating infrastructure provider aimed to improve the performance of content delivery subsystems deployed in wide area networks. It has been shown that leveraging edge resources for the deployment of caches of content greatly benefits CDNs. Therefore, the models are described from an edge computing perspective and intended to be integrated in network topology aware application orchestration and resource management systems.
