HOW IT WORKS

Delivery Models

Level 3 Windows Media Streaming supports both On Demand and Live services. Each of these uses the Level 3 Content Delivery Network (CDN) :

• On Demand Streaming
  
  Playback of Pre-recorded content whatever their level of definition (SD or HD) , movies, sports event,etc.. Content is securely sent to the Level 3 CDN ingest point(s), is made available to the Streaming platform and is delivered to end users. In the case of On Demand Streaming, customers may elect to store their pre-recorded media files at multiple locations on the Level 3 CDN (upload point)
  
  

• Live Streaming
  
  Playback of live content in real-time in either standard definition (SD) or high definition Streaming (HD) for example, sports events and radio shows. Level 3 pulls content from customer encoder and content is streamed simultaneously to the streaming nodes of the CDN and onwards to end users.
  
  As with Cache and Download services, DNS and Patented Footprint® content routing technology intelligently establishes the location of your end customer, and selects the optimal streaming node to serve that customer based on the network conditions existing between the Level 3 network and the customer.
