Media, Live and On-Demand Delivery

Pain points

Common media problems

• Live and premiere concurrency saturates origin and transcoding bandwidth.
• First-frame time and rebuffering affect retention, with uneven experience across networks and regions.
• Media assets are easy to hotlink, scrape and redistribute without authorization.
• Viral peaks make bandwidth cost hard to forecast.

IXCDN

How IXCDN handles it

Live streams use edge RAM cache and micro-segmented cache to cut latency; VOD and short video are served from edge cache nearby; Secure Token, hotlink protection and rate limits protect rights and bandwidth.

Low-latency live

RAM cache, micro-segmented cache and HLS/DASH/low-latency protocols reduce first-frame time and rebuffering.

High-concurrency VOD

VOD and short video use edge cache and origin optimization to support millions of concurrent viewers.

Rights and hotlink protection

Secure Token, Referer checks and IP/region access control stop hotlinking and scraping.

Bandwidth throttling

Download and bitrate limits by user, member, IP and time window control burst cost.

HTTP/3 and Brotli

Modern protocols and compression cut latency and bytes for mobile viewing.

Benefits

Outcomes

Faster first frame

Edge RAM cache with HLS/DASH/HESP shortens start time and raises watch time.

Millions concurrent

Edge cache and origin optimization carry high concurrency through premieres and events.

Controlled rights

Secure Token, Referer checks and rate limits reduce hotlinking and bandwidth abuse.
