<p>Delivering content of interest to clients is one of the most important tasks of the Internet </p><p>and an everlasting research question of today's networking. Content distribution networks(CDNs) </p><p>emerged in response to the rising demand of content providers to deliver contents to clients efficiently, </p><p>reliably, and securely at relatively low cost.</p><p>This dissertation explores how CDNs can achieve major performance benefits by adopting better </p><p>caching strategies without changing the network, or by collaboration with ISPs and taking advantage of their </p><p>better knowledge of network status and topology. It discusses the emerging trends of hybrid CDN architectures </p><p>and solutions to reliability problems introduced by them. Finally, it demonstrates how CDNs could better </p><p>protect both content providers and consumers from attacks and other malicious behaviors.</p> / Dissertation
