What were your educated observations, preferably with supporting data?


If it was capacity issues, they learned a hard lesson that you should have
other CDNs available to shed traffic over to if yours hits a problem that
can't be quickly solved in real time.

If it was server/software/livestream technical , then /shrug. Fix those.

Discussions I've seen from operators on Facebook shows some that had PNIs
that worked just fine, while others with PNIs and cache boxes didn't fare
so well. Some with just cache boxes were fine, while others were not.

Did we have a problem with congestion where the cache boxes phones home
to, and this they just fell over?

AWS used to be the data source of last resort. Did anyone notice
congestion going from AWS to cache boxes?
