Hello Luke and all, I stumbled upon some news about Facebook edge network servers, does anybody know anything about the caches the FB use and the ISPs can host? and is Facebook a part of SVA alliance?
Thanks, Ramy Hi Luke, > > Regarding HTTPS Streaming and Netflix... > > Netflix announced in the spring of 2015 that it would move to HTTPS > delivery by April of 2016.
