Video operators are seeing an abundance of video traffic crossing their networks. Cisco VNI forecasts that by 2019, 80% of IP traffic crossing service provider networks will be video and 42% will be viewed across mobile devices.
Operators are challenged with both managing the effects of this traffic, as well as extending traditional TV services to new devices. To address these growing needs, network operators like Calgary-based Shaw Communications Inc. are increasingly turning to content delivery networks (CDNs).
