A content delivery network (CDN) edge node scheduling method includes receiving, by a scheduling proxy server, a first request message from a terminal device, determining, based on a first Internet Protocol (IP) address and configuration information, a target CDN scheduling center corresponding to the first IP address, sending a second request message to the target CDN scheduling center when the target CDN scheduling center supports proxy scheduling setting, receiving the second IP address from the target CDN scheduling center, and sending a request response message to the terminal device to obtain delivery content from the target CDN edge node based on the second IP address.
