Different types of CDNs and their relevance today

A content delivery network is a system of multiple servers that are

maintained at various centers over internet.It's main aim is to 

provide end-users the utmost performance and availabity.Through the

Telco CDNs video transmittion is possible. Telco CDNs use Cachy

environment through which distance travelled by the video can be 

minimised.Telco CDNs have a bulit-in cost advantage as the traditional

CDNs must lease bandwidth from them.

In June 2011, StreamingMedia.com reported that a group of TSPs had

founded an Operator Carrier Exchange (OCX)[21] to interconnect 

their networks and compete more directly against large traditional

DNs like Akamai and Limelight Networks, which have extensive PoPs

worldwide. This way, telcos are building a Federated CDN offer, 

much more interesting for a content provider willing to deliver 

its content to the aggregated audience of this federation.

ICAP is identical to HTTp protocol used to expand the transparent 

proxy servers
