Content distribution systems (CDS) such as web caches and file sharing systems are large-scale distributed systems that may serve hundreds of thousands of users. These highly dynamic systems exhibit a very large state space which makes them difficult to analyze with classical tools such as Markovian models or simulation. In this thesis we propose macroscopic fluid models to reduce the complexity of these systems. We show that these simple models provide accurate and insightful results on the performance of CDS.In a first part we propose a generic fluid model for distributed caching systems. The idea is to replace cached documents with fluid that increase with unsatisfied requests. Caches may go up and down according to a birth-death process...
