Unmanaged coupon or promotional browser extensions and plug-ins can automatically inject codes at point of conversion costing your business revenue. Similarly, comparison browser extensions can divert a user away from your site, leading them to purchase the same product or service from a competitor’s site.

Adaptive Media Delivery has an optional feature called content targeting that allows you to permit or deny access to your content based on region-specific values associated with the requesting user. For example, you can add the Content Targeting — Protection behavior and configure it to deny access to users in a specific geographic region, or only allow requests coming from a specific set of IP addresses.
Adaptive Media Delivery has an optional self-service feature called GeoDelivery to enable you to control from which countries or zones (groups of countries) your content is delivered from. You will be able to create “delivered-from” policies to include or exclude geos.
Adaptive Media Delivery has an optional failover feature that lets you switch from one origin to another, or send a specific HTTP status code to the requesting user, if a failure occurs on your primary origin. This will help ensure you have full availability of your content.
Adaptive Media Delivery has an optional feature called edge IP binding that enables you to deliver traffic from a small, static set of IP addresses in a scalable manner. You can add edge IP binding to accomplish the following:
- Support zero-rated billing. Offer specific traffic at no cost to end users or prevent specific delivery from counting against a data cap.
- Identify content provider traffic based on the source IP. This helps when you can’t perform a deep packet inspection.
- Provide a single or a limited number of source IP addresses. This would help if your infrastructure systems are too complex and need a single or very limited number of source IPs.
- Eliminate frequent updates to IP address ranges. This applies if your business support or operations support systems can’t handle frequent updates.
- Provide simplicity and scale. This can help remove the need for additional domains or additional IPs.
Adaptive Media Delivery has a feature called watermarking. When a valid user requests content, watermarking distributes segments of content based on a pattern that’s unique to that user. If your content is pirated or redistributed, you can analyze the content and extract the user’s watermarking pattern to identify the user that originally leaked the content.
Adaptive Media Delivery reports provide an analysis of the delivery of your HTTP adaptive streaming formats. You create your own reports using a wide variety of metrics and dimensions such as average download time, midgress volume, country codes, and network type. You can use the analysis to improve the quality of your end-user viewing experience across a broad variety of network types, at varying connection speeds.
