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
