An Exploration into the Impact of Middle-Mile Optimization on Content Delivery Bottlenecks
In this whitepaper you’ll learn: results of an industry-wide content acceleration technology “bake-off”; the benefits of middle-mile optimization on content acceleration technologies; the testing methodologies and approach we used when comparing providers; and independent third-party corroboration of the test results. This whitepaper is a detailed look into the methods and results of a performance comparison test carried out during a 38-hour period and covered in the published whitepaper by the Enterprise Strategy Group, “Limelight Orchestrate Performance: Accelerating the Delivery of Dynamic Content Across the Middle-Mile.” Throughout this paper, we will explain the testing purpose, methodologies, and results in an effort to expose how middle-mile optimization within content delivery networks leads to better overall content delivery performance. For a third-party validation of these tests and a business understanding of the importance of performance, please read the published whitepaper referenced above. You can also visit Appendix A of this paper to see independent, third party corroboration of our conclusions.
