STREAMING AND VIDEO DELIVERY

Bypass shared CDN congestion for flawless streaming

Bypass the congestion and unpredictable bills of shared public CDNs. Deploying dedicated, bare-metal edge capacity directly inside Tier-1 ISPs ensures flawless live and VOD streaming.

The problem

Public edge infrastructure risks viewer churn

High-demand live formats strain delivery networks. Shared, multi-tenant public CDNs struggle during traffic spikes, leading to buffering, jitter, packet loss, and degraded video quality.

VP of Video Engineering

Congestion triggers packet drops and bitrate downgrades during peak events, driving viewer churn.

Streaming Architect

Public CDNs lack the granular processing controls needed for low-latency pipelines, causing player startup delays.

Network SRE Lead

High concurrent viewer spikes hit origin packagers, while routine cache reboots instantly overload backends.

Why public CDNs degrade your streams

Public, multi-tenant CDNs are built to cache web assets rather than real-time, high-throughput chunked streams.

Challenge 1

Noisy neighbors corrupt quality

Unrelated traffic on shared edge servers starves video streams of CPU and network capacity, increasing round-trip time and player buffering.

Challenge 2

Rigid buffers delay delivery

Generic caches buffer entire segments instead of streaming frames in real time, bloating time-to-first-frame and disrupting pipelines.

Challenge 3

Weak origin shielding under peak loads

Standard proxies allow thousands of requests to bypass the cache during new segment drops, overloading origins.

Challenge 4

Cache state causes origin stampedes

Ephemeral in-memory caches are wiped during rolling edge reboots, triggering thundering herds that crash origins.

A blueprint for broadcast-grade video delivery

To deliver broadcast-grade quality of experience without buffering or origin crashes, deploy a dedicated, single-tenant edge delivery tier that sits directly on-net inside ISP networks, combining persistent NVMe caching with inline manifest manipulation:

01 Allocate dedicated edge capacity	Isolate video workloads from resource contention. Run streaming delivery on dedicated, physical bare-metal edge nodes, reserving 100% of physical CPU, memory, and network interface resources for your workloads.
02 Integrate directly on-net with ISPs	Bypass multi-hop public internet transits. Deploy dedicated nodes on-net inside Tier-1 carriers and local ISPs. This places your active video segment cache exactly one network hop away from the end-viewer.
03 Preserve video caches with persistent storage	Shield origin packagers from traffic spikes during maintenance or restarts. Persist video-on-demand libraries and transient live segments directly on local NVMe arrays, allowing edge caches to survive system reboots with zero warm-up latency.
04 Execute inline edge logic in sub-milliseconds	Execute critical manifest logic and authentication checks without extra hops. Run token verification, dynamic manifest manipulation, and geoblocking natively inside the core process on edge nodes, eliminating extra hops to keep startup times low.
