Choosing Program Distribution Options
You can assign a single CDN to distribute your program to your users or you
can distribute your program using CDNs associated with an Audience. An
Audience in the Polycom VMC 1000 is collection of network routing
information that decides what type of program should be distributed to what
type of Viewers.
Audiences are defined by a set of delivery rules. Delivery rules contain criteria
that a program request needs to meet in order to be processed by a particular
CDN. A delivery rule always has a corresponding CDN and one or more
failover CDNs.
Domain and System Administrator users can define Audiences. Broadcaster
Administrators can only select Audiences as part of creating a program.
For example, System Administrator could divide Viewers into internal or
external Audiences for a Broadcaster Administrator to select. The external
Audience could consist of Viewers who are requesting a VOD or Live program
and who would have that program delivered to them through a Cisco ACNS
CDN. The internal Audience could consist of users who are requesting a VOD
or Live program and who would have that program delivered to them
through an Akamai CDN.
The Polycom VMC 1000 checks where the content request comes from and
decides how to serve that content to an internal or an external Audience. The
Polycom VMC 1000 uses request IP addresses, host names, and server port
numbers to decide what CDN to use to serve the content to the Viewer.
Follow the steps in the sections To select a single CDN for program
distribution or in To select an audience for program distribution.
