Yahoo acquires content delivery startup 'PeerCDN'

Washington: Yahoo has acquired content delivery network provider PeerCDN in a bid to resolve its mail issues.

PeerCDN's technology delivers site resources like images, videos and downloads via a peer-to- peer network of people currently visiting a website using WebRTC, real-time communication technology, instead of using an additional software.

This reduces some of the bandwidth costs of the website provider by letting visitors share the burden, the report added.
