Abstract
A content distribution network including a wireless network segment and an IP wide area network segment includes a virtualized Software Defined Networking (SDN) appliance for optimizing end-to-end quality-of-service (QoS) in the network. The SDN appliance is configured to identify and monitor traffic flows associated with respective content items, obtain end-to-end intelligence data associated with the traffic flow, the end-to-end intelligence data including quality-of-service (QoS) parameters associated with the traffic flow in the wireless network segment and the IP wide area network segment; and dynamically control the traffic flow in one or both of the wireless network segment and the IP wide area network segment based on the end-to-end intelligence data.
