The application discloses a
content distribution method and a
content distribution network. The method comprises the following steps: a first
edge node receives an access request of a target resource from a
client, and the access request of the target resource comprises a
client IP; a current redirection ratio is determined based on a planned bandwidth and a real-time used bandwidth of the first
edge node, and a current first threshold is determined according to the current redirection ratio; it is judged whether the
tail number of a preset number of bits of a first
confusion value of the
client IP is less than the current first threshold, if not, the target resource is sent to the client, and the preset number of bits is equal to the number of bits of the first threshold; if yes, a target
edge node is determined, and redirection information is returned to the client. The application compares the
tail number of the preset number of bits of the first
confusion value with the first threshold determined based on the redirection ratio to judge whether the redirection is triggered, so that the accurate control of the redirection ratio is realized, and meanwhile, the connection
multiplexing rate can be improved.
