How the Lumen instream CDN switcher works
In the beginning of a video session, CDN Load Balancer selects the most appropriate CDN from the geographical and business inputs of your choice.
During the session, our QoE-based multi-CDN load balancer takes CDN switching a step further. For each segment request, current CDN bandwidth, latency and errors are calculated to assess whether or not a switch should be made to improve quality or avoid potential CDN congestion or failure. The next video segment is automatically and seamlessly redirected to the appropriate CDN.
