Summary

Mux has launched an enhanced multi-CDN tracking feature in Mux Data to provide detailed insights into CDN performance during video playback. This new feature allows users to track the sequential order of CDNs used throughout a video session with the introduction of the CDN Trace dimension, which records each CDN switch and can be used as a filter and breakdown value in data analysis. CDN Trace offers flexible filtering options to analyze performance patterns, identify optimal switching scenarios, and troubleshoot issues. Additionally, a new CDN change event feature has been introduced, enabling users to pinpoint CDN switches during playback, supported by several web SDKs. The Monitoring Stream has also been updated to include mid-stream CDN switch data, providing comprehensive monitoring capabilities. These advancements aim to help users better understand and optimize their multi-CDN workflows for improved viewer experience.
