Why Latency Matters for Fast File Delivery

Latency is a term that is used to define the amount of time it takes to send a data packet from one source to
another destination. High latency will slow down the transfer, which will affect the encoding, transmission and
decoding, which are all elements in the process of sending the file. Delivery protocols like FTP are more
susceptible to latency because it requires acknowledgment of the file trying to be transferred before the next
file can be sent. You can only imagine the time consumption involved in this process.

Top Things to Consider When Choosing a CDN

How much bandwidth do you use monthly? Will you need 60GB a month or 60TB a month?

When you purchase a CDN, you will be charged by the amount of GB are transferred.

So if you’re only delivering small traffic amounts, you may not need a CDN. All you would need to do is switch

your current web host to a dedicated environment, rather than a shared environment.

Even a business class host would be a great option. Read more about Things to Consider Before Choosing a CDN » CDN-Advisor by www.cdn-advisor.com
