Large file CDN delivery
Your task
Design CDN delivery for large software/game updates (5–50 GB files) downloaded by tens of millions of users in a few hours after a release. Most users download the same files, downloads must resume after interruption, and a single file is too big to fully fit on every edge node. Origin bandwidth is the bottleneck. Design segmentation, edge caching, and how you keep origin from being crushed on release day.
