When I mean "cached", it means that the PoP server can serve content without contacting the origin server. (The PoP can't serve content it does not have).

Anything other than 100% uptime is bad PR for Netflix.
isn't it a tree of cache servers? as origin sends the frames they're cached.
and as load grows the tree has to grow too, and when it cannot resorting to degrading bitrate, and ultimately to load shedding to keep the viewers happy?
