Overview
Commonly, the bandwidth capacity required to deliver an HD video stream ranges from 10 Mbps to
15 Mbps. In contrast, an average SD video stream uses approximately one-third as much capacity.
However, these parameters are highly configurable and will vary from one WAN to another.
Content distribution technologies can make perfect copies of important files from your origin server and
store the duplicates on multiple nodes in your network. Later, anyone who needs one or more of these
cached files can obtain them quickly from a node that is closer to them than the origin server and less
heavily loaded. Such methods improve network scalability and user experience.
Topics in this chapter explain how to use content distribution technologies with Cisco Digital Signs.
Your understanding these important concepts will help you to use content distribution successfully.
