Lumen^® CDN Load Balancer support: Overview

CDN Load Balancer is a client-side multi-CDN load balancing tool designed to virtually eliminate potential downtime and poor streaming quality due to CDN failure. Our solution uses real-time feedback from the device to choose the optimal CDN on a segment-by-segment basis during the individual video session. It can therefore switch CDNs midstream for a seemless user experience and customeized video delivery for each viewer.
