A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a system of interconnected computers that, via the internet, rapidly provides web content to a large number of users situated across the globe. This mass delivery of content is achieved by duplicating the content on several servers, and then directing its users when required. CDNs are being used by more and more internet service providers to provide dynamic web pages and supply audio and video streaming without any lags.
