At the center of a CDN sits the logic that manages session setup and load balances traffic across the CDN, optimizing network utilization and user experience.

The Agile Directorauthorizes sessionsto prevent unauthorized access and assigns the session to the optimal cache based on network topology, content popularity, user location, and current load and capacity in the CDN.

This ensures thatonly authorized users receive the best possible experiencewhile network utilization is optimized.

Agile Cache

Agile Cache is a cache software that can be deployed on any COTS platform or as a docker in a virtualized deployment. It implements the basic caching functionality and interfaces required for management and configuration, including clustering of servers, and back-end load balancing for cache-fill.

Agile Cache is designed to provide the best possible performance out of the platform deployed on, rather than having strict requirements of specification to guarantee a certain performance.

Agile Appliance

Broadpeak’s nanoCDN resolves the two principal issues explaining why HTTP Adaptive bitrate (ABR) still struggles to replace Broadcast TV: scalability and quality of experience. By adding the efficiency of multicast to the new multiscreen and personalized experience of ABR format, the solution offers a unique opportunity to elevate IPTV to the next level. With this new full-ABR generation of IPTV, viewers can seamlessly navigate between Live and Time-shift, from their main screen to any mobile devices and get personalized content, all this with no compromise on the quality of their experience and at no extra cost for the operator.

 

nanoCDN has been specifically designed to avoid any kind of regression compared to traditional Broadcast. In particular, it implements optimizations for ultra-low latency such as HTTP chunked transfer encoding and CMAF chunking, bringing down the latency after encoding to a negligible amount.

 

In summary, nanoCDN is the opportunity for TV operators to finally unify delivery to the main screen and to all other screens into one single full-ABR IPTV system.
