Abstract: Techniques are described for facilitating the delivery of digital content using gossip protocols. A group of client devices share information about network conditions in sideband communications using a gossip protocol. Each of the client devices then uses this information to make decisions about how to access content. By providing accurate and current information about network conditions the occurrence of buffering events and/or fatal errors may be significantly reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for selecting fragments of a media item. An estimated bandwidth for a client is calculated. A confidence score for the estimated bandwidth is determined. When the confidence score falls below a threshold, the estimated bandwidth is modified. A fragment for the media item is selected using the modified estimated bandwidth.

Abstract: A technology for content delivery is provided. In one example, performance of a caching network, performance of a delivery network, and customer demand are modeled. Instructions are provided for a client device on how to request content based on the modeled performance of the caching network, the modeled performance of the delivery network or the modeled customer demand.
