Live metrics
Key metrics with in-view instrumentation
Counters animate when they enter the viewport so demos stay engaging without sacrificing accuracy — underlying figures come from fixed test harnesses, not vanity rounding.
OTT egress avoided
p95 across 6-week pilot
Faster first frame
vs. direct internet path
Concurrent 4K sessions
Single appliance class node
Peak WAN smoothing
Corporate HQ trace
First-frame latency improvements
The first segment dominates perceived quality. NexCache removes cross-continent TCP slow-start from that transaction by serving ciphertext from a millisecond-local NIC. Players still perform license exchanges with authorized servers — only bulk data movement relocates to the edge.
- p99 startup aligns with p50 when LAN is uncongested.
- Fewer renditions stall waiting for initial buffer — ABR climbs smoothly.
Lab capture
Capacity planning
Peak bandwidth smoothing
Enterprises pay for the top five minutes of the quarter. NexCache flattens those spikes by absorbing duplicate demand locally — finance sees it on the bill; network sees it on the SNMP graphs.
Telemetry-grade proof
Export before/after Mbps series to your data lake. We encourage third-party verification — no black-box claims.
QoS friendly
Shaped prefetch obeys DSCP and SD-WAN policies so streaming optimization never starves voice or ERP.
Stackable nodes
Horizontal scale adds near-linear hit capacity; hashing avoids hot partitions on mega events.
Load testing
Throughput under load
Synthetic load generators model thousands of simultaneous players with realistic ABR ladders. NexCache sustains line-rate ciphertext egress on modern NICs while keeping CPU headroom for TLS and housekeeping.
Figures from dual-25G nodes with NVMe RAID1. Your hardware bill of materials may vary; NexCache publishes sizing guides per vendor SKU.
Comparisons
Benchmark comparisons
Apples-to-apples against legacy transparent proxies and DIY NGINX stacks that cannot retain encrypted segments. NexCache wins on correctness first — then on throughput.
