Abstract
Systems and methods for the selection of a network interface/CDN pair from among multiple network interface/CDN pairs are provided. In an embodiment, a method includes retrieving information about sets of CDNs accessible via different network interfaces of a device. A plurality of network interface/CDN pairs are then identified, and performance metrics for each pair are measured. A best pair is selected, and is used to retrieve the next segments of a requested content item.
