“Sandvine and PeerApp have jointly driven operator caching to improve subscribers’ quality of experience at more than 40 communications service providers globally,” said Don Bowman, CTO, Sandvine. “The power of network functions virtualization allows us to enable innovative content delivery use cases while leveraging industry standards, including PCMM. We are proud to join the Content Services Extension initiative and to contribute technology leadership to an open service delivery environment.”
"With emerging standards like 4K video, operators experience consumers demanding ever greater amounts of high quality content,” said Peter Coppola, Vice President of Product and Solutions Marketing at Limelight Networks. “This demonstration of CSE shows that the technology is here today to enable CDNs and network operators to cooperate in the delivery of premium and other high value content.”
“With this demonstration, we’ve shown that the possibility for establishing a very different content delivery model exists – one that does not rely on paid peering agreements like those that we have seen recently,” said David Sokolic, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing at PeerApp. “In order for OTT video services to scale to the level of traditional cable and satellite video distribution methods, while at the same time providing the quality and reliability that consumers expect, the content needs to reside at the edge of the operator’s network. Unlike paid peering agreements, CSE enables the content to be delivered from within the operator’s local access network. This gives the operator greater visibility and control over the traffic and also enables an end-to-end guarantee of quality.”
