Abstract: The most challenging issue in content delivery networks (CDN) is to place the surrogate servers. K-means clustering can be chosen as a very simple and effective approach for placing the surrogates over the network. But the main concern of this approach is that it may produce clusters with very few nodes or no nodes. In CDN, this scenario will lead to a situation where a surrogate is serving no clients. This paper introduces a parameter called population threshold for each cluster and also optimises the number of surrogates by restricting the placing of servers in those under populated clusters. This work also identifies nearby servers which can serve the requests from clusters with population below the defined threshold, depending upon two parameters utilisation factor and strength of traffic load of the surrogates.
