The examples given here are not on the same scale. The numbers known so far:

- 120m viewers [1]

- Entire Netflix CDN Traffic grew 4x when the live stream started [2]

I guess one question I have is did Netflix partner with other CDNs?

Despite their already huge presence, Amazon for example has multiple CDNs involved for capacity for live events. Same for Peacock.
