How long did it take Chinese customers to download firmware using Azure CDN?

Question

When utilizing Azure CDN for firmware updates, ADLINK's customers in China faced significant delays, with download times extending up to five hours. This lengthy duration was a critical bottleneck for users requiring large files, such as technical specifications and firmware, which could reach up to 500MB. The reliance on Azure CDN, while beneficial for global content delivery, proved insufficient for meeting the performance expectations of ADLINK's substantial customer base within China. This challenge was compounded by the fact that other China-specific CDN solutions would necessitate obtaining an ICP License from the Chinese government, a process often characterized by considerable cost and time investment. The discrepancy between the anticipated performance of Azure CDN and the actual user experience in China highlighted a need for a more optimized content delivery strategy for this region.
