Reducing Transmission Latency and Minimizing Streaming Delays

Limelight Networks has presented CDN application cases for online live streaming of sports games.

Limelight Networks has supported online live streaming of numerous sports games including NBC's '2008 Summer Olympics Webcast', '2012 Summer Olympics', NFL 'Super Bowl' games, and Arsenal Football Club 'soccer matches'.

For real-time live coverage of games, it is important to reduce transmission latency and minimize streaming delays while enabling live streaming video playback on virtually all devices.

When real-time video streaming of sports games cannot be delivered, viewers often receive score updates or game results from friends through SNS or instant messaging before watching the live broadcast due to streaming latency. This occurs because the typical waiting time for delivering live streaming through online is between 30 seconds to 1 minute. However, if the live streaming service is unsatisfactory, viewers will stop watching within 4 minutes.

Park Dae-sung, Branch Manager of Limelight Networks Korea, stated, "Live streaming service providers must now enhance reliability and speed by delivering streaming services based on appropriate infrastructure," and added, "Limelight Networks proposes adopting private CDN to avoid bottlenecks in public online networks and provide the best service to viewers. Through this approach, enterprises can deliver video streaming to global audiences reliably and quickly at all times, bandwidth can be adjusted to meet requirements as needed, and sudden traffic spikes can be handled smoothly."
