Talk:Content delivery network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] 2006-2007
Isn't this confusing three separate ideas?
- Streaming networks
- CDN services such as Akamai (non streaming)
- ECDN, which is just tools to build your own CDN.
Also the various corporate histories seems questionable at best.

Agreed - the corporate histories are questionable and misleading. A full history needs to be researched that at least includes;
- Audionet -> Broadcast -> Yahoo Broadcast
- RealNetworks itself
- BBC
and a raft of other "CDN's" that existed before iBeam(!) - there are also tons of "patents" in this space
I propose that this entry should be pruned to describe just the acronym, with links to "streaming"/etc. and remove all commercial links.

"A more recently defined and robust solution is provided by the Open Pluggable Edge Services (OPES) protocol".
I disagree with OPES being more robust than ICAP: there is still no real commercial/open source OPES service demonstrating this while there are several iCAP services in production => I suggest to remove "and robust" therefore.

Amazon S3 is not a CDN, so it shouldn't be listed as one.
[edit] Red links
Red links are links to Wikipedia articles that do not exist.
It is hard for editors to know which companies are notable. One idea we have used is to Wikilink only to Wikipedia articles that already exist.
Also, in a list of companies, a company should only be in a listed if:
- It has a Wikipedia article, or
- A reliable reference is cited to document its notability. Company press releases are not reliable refs.
Just provide a verifiable reason for your edits, don't get too upset. Thanks.
Please discuss here anything about this! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Colfer2 (talk • contribs) 21:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
