However, CDN is the best way to achieve scale out for streaming content but if you are delivering so much content that the CDN is pulling more than 2 Gbps then you can add additional streaming endpoints (origins). In this case you would need to hand out content URLs that are balanced across the two streaming endpoints. This approach gives better caching than trying to send requests to each origin randomly (for example, via a traffic manager).
