Abstract
This chapter surveys measurement studies on Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) in real world. Several representative CDNs with different architecture designs, client mapping policies and redirection mechanisms are examined, and the interplay between CDNs and ISPs are further discussed.

- 1.
Time-to-first-byte, or TTFB, refers to the duration from when the client makes a HTTP request for the base web page to when the first byte of the requested web page was received by the client.
