PS4 Playstation Update Packages links use the same structure as the PS Vita and PS3:

http://d<TLD>01.ps4.update.playstation.net/update/ps4/image/YYYY_MMDD>/pre_<md5>/PS4UPDATE.PUP?dest=<TLD>
(TLD=2 region letter abbreviation (jp,us,..), YYYY_MMDD is release date, md5 is 22-digits long HASH)

SLB2 structure

PS4 SLB PUP container format - SKFU

/* file structure of SLB goes as following, if unpacking make sure you use 64 bits little endian on windows os */
typedef unsigned char u8;
typedef unsigned long int u32;
typedef unsigned long long int u64;

typedef struct{
	u32 offset; //1 block is headersize (512 padded)
	u32 cryptSize;
	u64 reserved; //probably file alignment
	u8 fileName[32];
} fileEntry;

typedef struct{
	u32 magic; //SLB2
	u64 version; //1
	u32 fileCount;
	u32 blockCount;
	u8 reserved[12];
	fileEntry files[10];
} ps4pup;
