Frequently Asked
Questions About CDN Delivery

  • What is a CDN and why does it matter for live streaming?
    A content delivery network (CDN) is a network of servers positioned around the world that deliver your stream from a server close to each viewer, instead of one central location. This keeps playback consistent for viewers in different regions.
  • Which CDN does Dacast use?
    Dacast delivers through CloudFront as the primary CDN, with Akamai as secondary.
  • What is Multi-CDN failover, and is it included in my plan?
    Multi-CDN failover routes your stream around network issues automatically. It's available as an add-on.
  • Does Dacast deliver video inside China?
    Yes. In country delivery inside mainland China is available as an add-on.
  • Does CDN delivery work for on demand video too, not just live?
    Yes. Your video on demand library delivers through the same global network as your live streams.
  • Will my stream buffer if my viewers have a slow connection?
    Adaptive bitrate delivery switches each viewer to the quality their connection can handle, which reduces buffering on slow connections.
