CMCD at work with real-time, real-world data

Abstract

This study examines some of the first production data obtained from deploying Common Media Client Data (CMCD) into production environments within a global content delivery network (CDN) and a global content distributor. It covers player integrations into Shaka, hls.js and dash.js, details of CDN support, handling of CMCD in a multi-CDN environment by a content distributor and the analysis and interpretation of the returned data.
