- **Data Directory:** Defines where cached media files are stored.
- **Optional Name:** Human-readable CDN identifier (used for UI labeling and dynamic DNS registration).
- **Mode:** Can operate as a **shared CDN** (available to multiple users) or a **local-only CDN**.
- What content does a CDN node deliver:
- media (for starter)
- **Secure Connectivity:**
- Each CDN connects to the **main metadata server** using a **pre-shared key** for authentication and trust establishment.
- This ensures only authorized CDNs can register and exchange data with the main network.

1. **Request content replication:** Copy or prefetch the content from another CDN or the main server.
2. **Stream fallback:** Stream the content directly from the main server or the nearest available CDN.
- **Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Sharing:**
- CDNs and the main server interconnect via **P2P protocols** to simplify file transfer and reduce reliance on centralized infrastructure.
- This enables faster, bandwidth-efficient distribution of popular content between geographically distributed CDNs.

- Multiple CDNs can share content and metadata within a trusted federation network.
- Multiple CDNs can share content and metadata within a connection between the instances via a secure tunnel.
- The system can automatically balance or replicate popular content across CDNs to optimize bandwidth usage and ensure availability.

I think we should write that instead. To me it's more exact and therefore easier to understand.
