CDN Mesh Delivery for Video on Demand

CenturyLink Blogs can be used for both live streaming and video-on-demand. All you need are viewers who are watching the same content at the same time, so it is particularly effective for large sporting events, series premieres www.mcafee/activate, popular movies, and other streams with large numbers www.mcafee.com/activate of simultaneous viewers.

This VOD platform  delivers popular series and catch-up TV in several countries in Europe. Delivery to average audiences of more than 500,000 viewers and evening spikes of more than 1 million are common www.mcafee.com/activate product key, and peer-to-peer technology helps scale infrastructure www.mcafee.com/activate download to growing audiences and mcafee.com/activate product key improve distribution architecture by decentralizing data exchanges and allowing viewers to obtain content quickly from multiple sources.

Reliability is increased by reducing a platform’s dependence on traditional CDN architecture. If a server or CDN fails, users can continue to stream content supplied by other viewers. It also helps platforms scale. Where server infrastructures are weighed down by traffic peaks, a peer-to-peer system becomes www.mcafee.com/activate more efficient www.mcafee/activate. The more peers there are to share content, the more they can share among themselves. Platforms can use traffic spikes to their advantage, saving money and offering a better quality of service for end users.

CDN Mesh Delivery effectively shields viewers from the effects of momentary server outages or malfunctions: Peers can continue mcafee.com/activate product key providing content to each other even if the server temporarily fails. Powerful topology-based prioritization algorithms measure viewers’ bandwidth capacities and manage segment queuing to intelligently connect peers and thereby maximize the effectiveness of the peer network www.mcafee.com/activate product key. This allows us to use a part of the user’s bandwidth without compromising the user’s resources. www.mcafee.com/activate download  For mobile networks with data caps, peer-to-peer is deactivated and can only be used when the device is connected to WiFi.

CDN Mesh Delivery’s peer-to-peer network is entirely controlled by centralized tracker servers that prevent unauthorized access to video streams through features such as domain restriction, geo-restriction  www.mcafee.com/activate and token authentication www.mcafee/activate. All data shared over the peer-to-peer network is encrypted, files and packets are verified to avoid corruption, and information is only cached on users’ computers while they are actually watching the video www.mcafee.com/activate download.

WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) has enabled inter-browser communications and paved the way for a new generation of plugin-free peer-to-peer video delivery technologies. WebRTC provides web browsers and mobile www.mcafee.com/activate product key applications real-time communication capabilities via APIs and therefore enables direct peer-to-peer video and audio communication mcafee.com/activate product key, without the need to install plugins or download native apps.

With peer-to-peer technology, rebuffering rates  decrease as more viewers tune in. Microcaching on devices means that more segments www.mcafee/activate across all formats and bitrates are available to the network www.mcafee.com/activate to help with faster downloads and greater local and regional capacity.

CDN Mesh Delivery’s peer-to-peer system requires a relatively low critical mass to work effectively. More peers sharing content lead to more powerful results, but it has proven valuable to platforms with only a few dozen simultaneous viewers for live streaming, and about 100 for VOD. When there are not  www.mcafee.com/activate product key enough peers to share content, the system automatically mcafee.com/activate product key reverts back to original server-client architecture.

By obtaining video segments from the source that can provide them most quickly, CDN Mesh Delivery reduceswww.mcafee.com/activate round-trip time and promotes www.mcafee/activate more efficient use of infrastructure www.mcafee.com/activate download. Platforms using CDN Mesh Delivery see higher average bitrates and enjoy up to three times less rebuffering than with traditional video CDN solutions.
