On the Internet, content delivery (sometimes called content distribution, content distribution delivery, or content caching) is the service of copying the pages of a Web site to geographically dispersed servers and, when a page is requested, dynamically identifying and serving page content from the closest server to the user, enabling faster delivery.
Content delivery can also be used for specific high-traffic events such as live Web broadcasts by continually dispersing content from the originating server to other servers via satellite links.
Content delivery is similar to but more selective and dynamic than the simple copying or mirror site of a Web site to one or several geographically dispersed servers.

 Content Delivery Isn't Necessarily Part of Content Management (Really Strategies Newsletter | Issue 9)
By "content delivery" we mean tools for delivering the right content in the right format to the right location and at the right time.
The delivery capabilities of the content management systems publishers have developed or purchased are often weak compared with the need, and so it's not necessarily an obvious choice to use the CMS for delivery.
Content is often transformed from its CMS format to optimize it for delivery purposes (e.g., to better enable search, to speed performance, to conform to industry standard DTDs, to automatically apply categorical indexing).

Therefore, an understanding of content delivery on the Internet now requires a detailed understanding of how these systems are used in practice.
This paper examines content delivery from the point of view of four content delivery systems: HTTP web traffic, the Akamai content delivery network, and Kazaa and Gnutella peer-to-peer file sharing traffic.
Our results (1) quantify the rapidly increasing importance of new content delivery systems, particularly peer-to-peer networks, (2) characterize the behavior of these systems from the perspectives of clients, objects, and servers, and (3) derive implications for caching in these systems.
