Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) deliver much of the world’s content on the Internet today. As demand for content rises, the role of CDNs is as crucial as ever, making it imperative to understand the internal workings of such systems. Focusing on Twitch, one of the most popular live video services, we present in this work (1) the design of a Twitch CDN crawler, (2) two deployment methodologies, (3) a study of the data collected, and (4) a comparison of the deployment methodologies.
