distributed to clients. There are two types of contents in
content delivery network - live and VOD. VOD contents can be
pre-positioned or dynamically cached into the content delivery
network. Live stream is ingested and delivered to a large
audience using one-to-many split.
Streaming protocols are supported, by different streaming
modules. These include HTTP, RTSP, Microsoft Media Server, RTMP
and their varieties.
