youtube

I'm an IT graduate student trying to get my head around distributed content distribution systems, much like what I assume Youtube uses. I have read Google Research stuff like Bigtable and Google File System academic papers. Is there any such thing for Youtube? Can anyone point me at stuff to learn about the Youtube network and the underlying technology?

thanks
