As Internet audience sizes for high-interest live events reach
unprecedented levels and bitrates climb to support formats and
applications such as 4K, 8K, and Augmented Reality (AR), live
streaming can place a unique type of stress upon network resources.
TreeDN is a tree-based Content Delivery Network (CDN) architecture
designed to address the distinctive scaling challenges of live
streaming to mass audiences. TreeDN enables operators to offer
Replication-as-a-Service (RaaS) at a fraction of the cost of
traditional, unicast-based CDNs -- in some cases, at no additional
cost to the infrastructure. In addition to efficiently utilizing
network resources to deliver existing multi-destination traffic, this
architecture also enables new types of content and use cases that
previously were not possible or economically viable using traditional
CDN approaches. Finally, TreeDN is a decentralized architecture and
a democratizing technology that makes content distribution more
accessible to more people by dramatically reducing the costs of
replication.
