Frank Rijt-van - Thanks for adding your idea for P2P / Caching / SDN support to Stream. We've migrated your idea here for others to vote on:

We have caching / SDN (Software Defined Network) solutions on our backlog for the near-mid future. For SDN / caching we aren't building anything directly into Stream, but instead are partnering with 3rd party providers. Right now the 3 partners we've talked with are...

- RAMP (OmniCache) - They have a cache proxy solution that is VM based. Where you insert the VM into your network and route video traffic through it. This works today with Stream with configuration/deployment on the RAMP side.

- Kollective (eCDN) - They have a P2P solution and have built plugins for the player we use in Stream. We have to do work in Stream to integrate Kollective to call their APIs and configure our player to use their plugin. We have this work on the list to be done, but don't have a timeline we can promise right now.

- Hive - They have a P2P solution and have built plugins for the player we use in Stream. We have to do work in Stream to integrate Hive to call their APIs and configure our player to use their plugin. We have this work on the list to be done, but don't have a timeline we can promise right now.
