Hello,

If you build your own delivery networks with Wowza Streaming Engine, then you’ve faced the situation when you needed some help identifying where to put your edge servers. This is important as your edges should be placed somewhere near the majority of viewers to lower the latency and reduce packets loss in order to improve overall user experience.

This is where [ASN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_%28Internet%29) might help. Knowing most popular ASes of your customers you could place your edge servers in appropriate datacenters.

WMSPanel allows collecting statistics to show most popular ASNs for your viewers.

[Read this article](http://blog.wmspanel.com/2017/02/view-asn-media-streaming-stats.html)to see how you can collect this metric.

[WMSPanel is a web SaaS](https://wmspanel.com/wowza) which allows collecting stats from multiple servers and provide various metrics based on that.

You can use WMSPanel for [2 weeks trial for free](https://wmspanel.com/try_now) to try this and many other features.
