Description

This paper explores the transition from single-Content Delivery Network (CDN) strategies to multi-CDN approaches, highlighting their benefits and drawbacks. We analyze the comparative advantages of multi-CDN architectures, such as increased redundancy, reduced latency, improved availability, and optimized content delivery. Two primary methods for implementing multi-CDN are examined: server-side (Content Steering) and client-side (player-initiated). Server-side solutions use centralized control mechanisms to manage traffic across CDNs, simplifying management but potentially adding complexity and latency. Client-side approaches, which allow end-user devices to adapt to network conditions, offer greater flexibility and resilience but present challenges in terms of implementation and compatibility. Our study includes quantitative performance analyses and qualitative assessments of these methods, aiming to provide insights into how multi-CDN strategies can enhance content delivery and address evolving demands.
