The Akamai network: a platform for high-performance internet applications
TL;DR: An overview of the components and capabilities of the Akamai platform is given, and some insight into its architecture, design principles, operation, and management is offered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globally distributed content delivery
TL;DR: The Akamai system has since evolved to distribute dynamically generated pages and even applications to the network's edge, providing customers with on-demand bandwidth and computing capacity and lets content providers' infrastructure requirements be reduced, and lets them deploy or expand services more quickly and easily.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
BOLA: Near-optimal bitrate adaptation for online videos
TL;DR: This work formulate bitrate adaptation as a utility maximization problem and devise an online control algorithm called BOLA that uses Lyapunov optimization techniques to minimize rebuffering and maximize video quality and proves that B OLA achieves a time-average utility that is within an additive term O(1/V) of the optimal value.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Video stream quality impacts viewer behavior: inferring causality using quasi-experimental designs
TL;DR: This work is the first to establish a causal relationship between video quality and viewer behavior, taking a step beyond purely correlational studies and using Quasi-Experimental Designs, a novel technique adapted from the medical and social sciences.
