Optimizing Connections for RaiPlay
Streaming platforms like RaiPlay are contractually bound by network routing paths. Even if you hold an active membership, a highly anticipated match may experience buffering if your connection to the specific local network's delivery servers is suboptimal. To ensure the best connection on RaiPlay, we recommend using a Streaming Optimizer node to ensure the highest quality network route.
