Systems and Methods for Content Delivery Network Performance Monitoring and Selection

Abstract: techniques for serving a manifest file of an adaptive streaming video include receiving a request for the manifest file from a user device. the video is encoded at different reference bitrates and each encoded reference bitrate is divided into segments to generate video segment files. the manifest file includes an ordered list of universal resource locators (urls) that reference a set of video segment files encoded at a particular reference bitrate. a source manifest file that indicates the set of video segment files is identified based on the request. an issued manifest file that includes a first url and a second url is generated based on the source manifest file. the first url references a first domain and the second url references a second domain that is different from the first domain. the issued manifest file is transmitted to the user device as a response to the request.
