PeerApp: The Impact of OTT Video Services and the Operator CDN Response
In this paper, PeerApp reviews the growing global phenomenon of OTT video services such as Netflix, and the tools and strategies that are helping operators contend with the huge demand for this content. Possible strategies range from near--term implementation bandwidth and quality management of technologies such as transparent caching, to the deployment of operator content delivery networks to develop a long--term revenue stream.
PeerApp: Converged Edge Caching of Over-the-top and Managed Content
The debate about the impact of video on an operator’s broadband network is over. Video consumption is outpacing every other use of the Internet today and the growth is showing no signs of a slowdown. Internet video will be more than 50 per cent of consumer Internet traffic by the end of 2012 according to Cisco's VNI study. PeerApp's US deployments regularly see Netflix alone account for over 35 per cent of peak traffic. At the same time, the video delivery value chain includes the operator as a transport mechanism, but excludes the operator from participation in the revenue stream. Operators world-wide are developing defensive and offensive strategies to cope with the tremendous consumer demand for Internet content.
