Media network administrators facing greater demand for online video content are increasingly turning to CDN video streaming technology. The CDN, or content delivery network, has been a critical technology for delivering video, large files and other web content to users quickly and reliably. CDN video streaming servers accelerate delivery of video by caching content on multiple servers that are widely dispersed across a certain geography. When a viewer submits a request for video, the CDN streaming server nearest the user's location provides the content, speeding delivery and improving quality of the viewing experience.
