Abstract
Media devices may stream content from content delivery networks. Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for selecting nodes to improve content streaming. A selection server may select a node based on destination metrics provided by the media device. The destination metrics may include a variety of information such as information about the latency associated with the video stream, the bandwidth between the media device and the streaming node, or the throughput associated with the video stream. The selection server may compare the destination metrics with source metrics to determine which node to select.
