FUNCTIONS OF CDN:

The entire function of a CDN is based on the “Original-Copy” or ”Origin-Junction” model.

. 

At first, you have to merge CDN with your streaming Application, which becomes the “Master” or “Start” or main transaction of this network. Then CDN stores customized or “copies” of your website content in different territorial places in all corners of the world. 

Locations or places, in the sense represented as “Points of Presence(PoP)”, contain the website servers or “edge servers”. 

All these servers are taken care of the responsibility in “hoarding” or storing copies of the original web content in respective regional locations. If any user requests to load a webpage will be managed by “PoP” Which is regionally nearer to the user. 

If edge servers of respective PoP are hard to find the content files, automatically it will search for the content on other servers in the CDN. The Closest or Convenient server containing the requested content will send to the user. 

This was possible because your CDN servers will have a stored version of streaming content in all territorial locations.

If He/she experiences slow loading of content as the request has to travel a huge distance. When you have a CDN merged with your streaming platform, the delivery of your video content will be Sufficient and uninterrupted.
