This behavior allows Akamai edge servers to retrieve cached content from other Akamai servers, rather than directly from the origin. These interim parent servers in the cache hierarchy (CH
) are positioned close to the origin, and fall along the path from the origin to the edge server. Tiered Distribution typically reduces the origin server's load, and reduces the time it takes for edge servers to refresh content. This advanced behavior provides a wider set of options than tiered_distribution
.
