Content providers must choose Edge locations to reduce latency and improve streaming. ISPs can provide topology and demand data, while fiber networks allow longer distances. BT Openreach is reducing exchange sites from 5,600 to 1,000 for better data delivery. Capacity usage is predicted using CDN model, with servers sized at 50 Gbps per 1RU. Redundancy options are available.Content providers must choose Edge locations to reduce latency and improve streaming.
