You can create Akamai stream targets for adaptive bitrate streams using Wowza Streaming Engine Manager or by directly editing the PushPublishMap.txt file. For HLS and MPEG-DASH destinations, the most efficient way is to directly edit the PushPublishMap.txt file and create a single stream target with the group-manager profile. See Send adaptive bitrate streams to Akamai with a single stream target for more information. Alternatively, you can create multiple stream targets from Wowza Streaming Engine Manager or by directly adding multiple map entries in the PushPublishMap.txt with adaptive groups. See Send adaptive bitrate streams to Akamai with multiple stream targets for more information.

This feature works independently of manifest filter. When the next fragment is out of a filter window, its URL will still be located by looking into the raw client manifest and then returned as CDN prefetch response header. So CDN will get the URL of a fragment that's filtered out from DASH/HLS/Smooth manifest. However, the player will never make a GET request to CDN to fetch that fragment, because that fragment isn't included in the DASH/HLS/Smooth manifest held by the player (the player doesn't know that fragment's existence).
Pre-fetching in the CDN is a key aspect of the joint system. This is made possible by the Bitmovin Player providing the correct CMCD hints, such as predictions from the player's Adaptive Bitrate algorithm, current buffer health, stream format and playback state to enable the CDN to pre-fetch the data which the Player is likely to need at the next request. Content IDs and session IDs sent by the player also help video developers to find the root cause of streaming issues and identify ways to improve the quality of experience for audiences.
Will Law, Chief Architect, The Cloud Technology Group at Akamai Technologies, said, "Combining our CDN with Bitmovin's player has resulted in a valuable proposition for the media industry. Enabling the player to share key client-side metrics with the CDN gives video developers a clearer picture of the end user's viewing experience. It can positively impact a video streaming service's overall performance and, ultimately, business growth."
Once a favorite with investors on Wall Street, Akamai has watched its shares fall from a high of $345.50 in the past 52 weeks to current levels of $90. However, a recent deal with Excite@Home for streaming media content management helped boost shares. Overall, Akamai stock rose more than 50 percent last week.
