Content delivery describes the delivery of media content such as audio, video, software and video games over a delivery medium such as broadcasting or the Internet.
Content delivery has two parts:
- Delivery of finished content for online distribution, with its accompanying metadata
- Delivery of the end product to the consumer
Specialist networks known as content delivery networks have distribute digital content on the Internet. Alternative technologies for content delivery include peer-to-peer file sharing technologies. Content can only be delivered if it exists. If it does not exist, several techniques and methods can be used for content creation or content regeneration.
