	abstract = {<p>Today{\textquoteright}s Internet consists of massive scale web\&nbsp;services and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). This paper sheds\&nbsp;light on the way major Internet-scale web services content is\&nbsp;hosted and delivered. By analyzing a full month of HTTP traffic\&nbsp;traces collected at the mobile network of a major European ISP,\&nbsp;we characterize the paradigmatic case of Facebook, considering\&nbsp;not only the traffic flows but also the main organizations and\&nbsp;CDNs providing them. Our study serves the main purpose of\&nbsp;better understanding how major web services are provisioned\&nbsp;in today{\textquoteright}s Internet, paying special attention to the temporal\&nbsp;dynamics of the service delivery and the interplays between the\&nbsp;involved hosting organizations. To the best of our knowledge, this\&nbsp;is the first paper providing such an analysis in mobile networks.</p>},
