Technology

Layered redundancy, 2026 performance, end-to-end observability, and anti-outage design.

Layered architecture

• Geo-distributed main+backup ingest
• Active-active origin (packaging + ABR + recording)
• Multi-region edge PoPs with automatic failover
• Security policy (token/geo/domain) and rate control

Observability (QoE)

• Stream health: bitrate, fps, dropped frames
• QoE: TTFF, buffering ratio, error rate
• Viewer analytics: concurrent, geo, device
• Alerts: email/webhook + escalation

Server stack 2026 (typical)

Hardware selected for streaming: throughput, latency and reliability. Different configurations between PoPs and origin.

CPU & acceleration

AMD EPYC / Intel Xeon • AVX • optional GPU transcode

Storage & cache

NVMe caching • origin replica • library/recording tiering

Network

25/40/100G uplink • multi-carrier • redundant switches

Redundancy & failover

Ingest

Main+backup with automatic switching and health checks.

Origin

Active-active for packaging/recording and data replication.

Edge

Automatic PoP failover and routing for congestion.

LIVE Streaming on CDN

When the live stream matters: technology that prevents the “black screen”

We optimize ingest, processing and delivery to maximize continuity and perceived quality. HLS/MPEG-DASH packaging, ABR ladder, recordings and security policies work together with end-to-end observability.

Technology FAQ

What makes a CDN live stream stable?

Layered redundancy (main+backup ingest, active-active origin, edge PoPs with failover), stream quality control, and security policies (token/geo/domain).

Which delivery protocols do you support?

HTTP delivery in HLS and MPEG-DASH with CMAF options; legacy outputs are available for integrations when required.

What do you measure for perceived quality (QoE)?

TTFF, buffering ratio and error rate, plus stream health (bitrate, fps, dropped frames) and audience analytics (concurrent/geo/device) with alerts and escalation.
