Abstract:	Content distribution methods include techniques such as: Making DNS resolution dependant on topological distance Assigning a single IP address for multiple machines routed according to some metric Backing multicasting off to unicasting, based upon encountered congestion \"Best routing, least congested path application-layer routing\" Hashing algorithms/randomized content distribution Although each of these higher-layer techiques makes decisions based upon assumptions and measurements of ISP services, the Content Distributor and ISP communities haven\'t yet discussed these techniques in an open forum. This panel discusses the validity of these assumptions, the implementation of various content distribution techniques, and the impact of those technicques on the infrastructure. Topics discussed include how various content distribution systems work, what dynamics the techniques take into account, what measurements are made to make the distribution decision, and what results validate the performance of the various distribution techniques.
