IPv4 for CDN
& Content Delivery
IPv4 addresses for CDN edge nodes, streaming, caching, and high-bandwidth delivery. Multi-region listings for distributed footprints.
IPv4 Requirements for CDN Operators
What content delivery infrastructure typically needs from a lease.
Multi-Region Coverage
Listings span multiple RIR regions for edge node placement near end users.
Bandwidth-Agnostic Listings
The platform sets no per-prefix bandwidth limits; throughput is determined by the lessee's upstream.
On-Demand Allocation
Add prefixes as edge nodes are deployed. Provisioning runs through the API.
Lease Instead of Purchase
Monthly lease keeps IP cost as operating expense rather than one-time purchase.
CDN Deployment Patterns
Common content delivery deployment patterns.
Video streaming
- Anycast IPs for live and on-demand video edges
- Per-region addresses for geo-restricted catalogues
- Dedicated IPs for individual customer hostnames
Static asset delivery
- Edge IPs for image, CSS, and JavaScript hosts
- Address pools for sharded asset hostnames
- Separate IPs for HTTPS and HTTP/3 endpoints
Software distribution
- IPs for package and update mirrors
- Regional addresses for installer and patch downloads
- Allow-listed IPs for enterprise distribution endpoints
Edge compute
- Anycast IPs announced from each edge location
- Per-tenant addresses for isolated edge functions
- Subnets dedicated to API gateway and auth endpoints
Why IP Selection Matters for CDN
Anycast routing
Prefixes with consistent global routing reach the nearest edge for each user without long-haul detours.
Range reputation
Traffic served from clean prefixes is less likely to be flagged by upstream firewalls and abuse feeds.
Cache performance
Stable IP assignments allow upstream networks to apply consistent peering and traffic engineering for cached responses.
Scaling capacity
Acquiring additional IPv4 prefixes lets a CDN add edge nodes and tenants without renumbering existing infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about IPv4 for CDN operators.
How customers use IP Market
Patterns observed across leasing and monetization customers, described from first-hand operator feedback rather than named endorsements.
"Reputation-screened prefixes and automated provisioning let us add capacity for new tenants without juggling broker emails or worrying about blocklisted ranges on day one."
"A flat 10% platform fee paid by the IP holder — and lessees pay the listed price — makes the cost predictable. The compliance automation removes a lot of manual LOA and ROA work."
"Built-in ROA generation and ongoing reputation monitoring give us a defensible position when an upstream asks where a prefix came from."
