A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a strategically distributed network of servers intended to enhance the delivery of web content to users, thereby mitigating latency and enhancing overall performance. They are used for optimizing web content delivery, minimizing latency, and improving user experiences. A core challenge within CDNs is the strategic placement of content replicas to enhance efficiency. This paper examines the diverse strategies and methodologies used for replica placement, with a focus on the adaptability of these approaches to varying CDN requirements. Hybrid techniques and customized solutions are frequently employed to fine-tune replica placement strategies, ensuring that CDNs continue to excel in delivering web content seamlessly to users. Ongoing research in this field contributes to the evolution of CDN optimization techniques, enabling CDNs to remain effective in the ever-changing digital landscape.
