SYSTEMATIC MAPPING STUDY ON MANAGEMENT IN CONTENT DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
MANAGEMENT IN CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORKS
Abstract
Current Over the past decades, the growth of cloud services as a paradigm has solidified its position in the telecommunications market. In particular, the use of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) by content providers has become widespread. With an increasing global presence, the need for effective management of these services has become imperative. Consequently, numerous individual studies have been conducted to address different approaches to service management. However, an analysis of existing studies is necessary before developing new trends for superior network management. We conducted a systematic mapping study documenting cutting-edge empirical research on CDN service management and its components. The objective is to outline a roadmap for synthesizing documented empirical research. Existing research and literature have been reviewed through a systematic mapping study. Our study accounts for work dating from 2005 to 2025. The initial search retrieved 150 articles from digital libraries such as IEEE Xplore and ResearchGate, of which 43 were included in the study. A classification scheme was derived from the primary studies. The study demonstrates that CDN service management is an ongoing field of research. It is not a new concept, as it has been in use for over 20 years, and the number of publications is increasing, trending toward autonomic management with the integration of Artificial Intelligence. Our study helps highlight research areas that require further consideration.
