Content-delivery network (CDN) vendor Level 3 Communications, on the other hand, has been given the task of delivering the DNC to everyone who wants to watch the convention live over the Internet. To provide live streaming video of the DNC over the Web sites of major television networks and the Democratic National Convention Committee, Level 3 is deploying its transport equipment to aggregate fiber and connect it to the company’s POP in Denver, then distribute video over its CDN to streaming locations. Level 3 also will cache all content from the DNC and make it available on-demand for anyone who wants to watch events they may have missed.
