The definitive guide to developing robust content delivery networks
This book examines the real-world engineering challenges of
developing robust content delivery networks (CDNs) and provides the
tools required to overcome those challenges and to ensure
high-quality content delivery that fully satisfies operators and
consumers' commercial objectives. It is informed by the author s
two decades of experience building and delivering large,
mission-critical live video, webcasts, and radio streaming, online
and over private IP networks. Following an overview of the field,
the book cuts to the chase with in-depth discussions laced with
good-natured humor of a wide range of design considerations for
different network topologies. It begins with a description of the
author's own requirement filtration processes. From there it moves
on to initial sketches, through considerations of stakeholder roles
and responsibilities, to the complex challenges of managing change
in established teams. Agile versus waterfall considerations within
large blue chip companies, security, commercial models, and value
chain alignment are explored in detail. Featured throughout the
book are numerous "what if" scenarios that help provide a clear
picture of the wide spectrum of practical contexts for which
readers may be tasked with building and implementing a CDN. In
addition, the book: * Discusses delivery of live, catch-up,
scheduled on-demand, TVOD and SVOD * Offers insights into the
decisions that can to be made when architecting a content
distribution system over IP-based networks * Covers CDN topologies,
including Edge-Caching, Streaming-Splitting, Pure-Play, Operator,
Satellite, and Hybrid * Examines computer hosting and orchestration
for dedicated appliances and virtualization * Includes real-world
cases covering everything from IETF, regulatory considerations, and
policy formation, to coding, hardware vendors, and network
operators * Considers the future of CDN technologies and the market
forces driving its evolution Written by a back-room engineer for
back-room engineers, Content Delivery Networks gets readers up to
speed on the real-world challenges they can face as well as
tried-and-true strategies for addressing those challenges in order
to ensure the delivery of the high-quality content delivery
networks that clients demand and users expect.
