CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A service provider needs to serve cached content globally through edge nodes with mid-tier caches for origin offload and failover.

Key decisions

  • Placed a global load balancer to distribute traffic across two edge aggregation switches
  • Used two mid-tier cache nodes for redundancy and failover between edge and origin
  • Segmented edge, distribution, and core tiers for scalable operations

When to reuse this

When modeling CDN cache hierarchy with failover and tiered service-provider infrastructure.
