It allows a user to access the content’s copy available in the nearest web server (geographically), which helps in enhancing the content delivery in a reliable manner along with reducing the latency and accelerating the load time of websites. For an instance, in August 2015, Facebook introduced its Facebook Live Service, which enables its users to capture and stream the live video on the Facebook and in this the viewers can interact simultaneously. UTILIZATION OF INTERNET SERVICES FOR MULTIPLE END USERS In today’s world, other than originally formed internet services, every other industry is getting online and offers its services on internet, such as automotive, finance & insurance, jobs & education, computer & consumer electronics, and travel & tourism among others.

Further, users access a number of applications, such as streaming audio & video, interactive multimedia applications, along with dynamic and static web pages across millions of websites, which need robust and efficient network infrastructures. For an instance, Akamai offers CDN services for automotive, business services, financial services, healthcare & life sciences, hotel & travel, manufacturing, media & entertainment, online gaming, public sector, retail & consumer goods, software & technology, software as a service, and startups, in order to meet the specific needs of the business.

In addition, prices depends on the fact that how much an individual wants the website to be hooked up with CDN on a monthly basis, and different companies offer different varied features with varied pricing. For an instance, MaxCDN offers 250GB at USD 21, CloudFare offers the same data at free or at USD 20 and USD 200 which is completely based on the plan, Amazon offers 250GB at USD 24 and Fastly offers it at USD 30.

For an instance, mobile devices dominate in terms of total time spent online, across the globe. The worldwide number of social media users has increased exponentially over the years. Challenge ADAPTIVE BIT RATE STREAMING Adaptive bit-rate streaming strategies enable minimal buffering and load-time, and provide quicker start-time for users according to their network bandwidth and device capabilities. Multiple bit-rate files are created and uploaded at multiple streaming locations and the adaptive bit-rate streaming-aware players request the suitable bit-rate files according to the network bandwidth conditions. Content delivery network faces challenges when it is introduced into such infrastructure where same file is available at the multiple bit-rates, as it may cause buffering due to network fluctuation until all the segments of the files of all bit-rates are available at each web server. This challenge is experienced by first few users in business-to-consumer (B2C) applications but it is more pronounced in business-to-business (B2B) applications since the number of users accessing media content is smaller, and the number of users that are in the early user category may be relatively larger.
