Netflix video does not fly in from U.S. each time, secret lies in CDN

Streaming video data does not usually travel from a distant original server each time a user presses play. Content delivery networks, or CDNs, store copies of video, images and files on distributed servers closer to users to reduce response times and spread traffic loads. Netflix runs its own Open Connect system using servers placed inside internet service provider networks or linked to exchange points. Google uses Global Cache in a similar way. CDNs help during traffic surges but do not eliminate all playback issues.

Game companies are using the format to lower entry barriers and reuse existing titles, while platforms expand mini-game offerings through in-app ecosystems. The market remains at an early stage, with sustainability of usage and revenue seen as the key.
