In some embodiments, a method receives a first ranking of content delivery networks for a playback session of a video and receives global constraints for the content delivery networks. The global constraints define an allocation for respective content delivery networks. The method alters a score for a content delivery network in the first ranking to generate a second ranking of content delivery networks. Then, a content delivery network is selected from the second ranking for the playback session of the video.
