Example of PEER 1 CDN

Anthony Taliercio — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:08:10 +0000

Here is a simple example of how you can load an image from the PEER 1 Content Delivery Network (CDN).

The 1st image is loading directly from my server www.anthonyt.com:

src=”http://www.anthonyt.com/wp-content/flower-holland-netherlands-rf-300×225.jpg”

————————————————————————————

The 2nd image is loading from the PEER 1 CDN cdn.anthonyt.com:

src=”http://cdn.anthonyt.com/wp-content/flower-holland-netherlands-rf-300×225.jpg”

You can see both images are identical. The difference is the 2nd image is getting pulled through the PEER 1 CDN.

When your computer requests the 2nd image from the CDN you’re automatically routed to your local CDN location for the image. The local CDN is typically the closest PEER 1 Data Center to you. Here is a map of all PEER 1 Data Centers:

The CDN is a great tool for the following 3 reasons:

Since the media is being delivered from the CDN location closest to you it’s delivered much faster.
Since the CDN delivers the content your server can focus on other things.. this takes a major load off your server.
The CDN can handle massive spikes in traffic which take allot of guess work out of capacity planning. An example is your website could be featured on a website like Digg.com which drives millions of visits. The CDN can handle a spike whereas if you were on a single server it might hit a maximum capacity and crash.
