Explore eCDN use-case

[backkem]

eCDN, as abbreviated of "Enterprise Content Delivery Network", is a form of peer-assisted video delivery. It is specifically targeted at (live) video delivery on enterprise networks where you may have a large number of peers requesting the same data. Traditionally, they would each have to request it from the origin server. The eCDN approach instead lets peers forward the data among themselves. While doing so it can massively reduce the bandwidth required.
Currently eCDN solutions that are built using WebRTC require a lot of work to manage the mesh topology. It seems worth exploring if the Local Peer-to-Peer API can provide value to this use-case.
