Multimedia content steering

A system comprising:

• at least one physical processor;
• and
• physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to:
• access data resulting from a playback session in which at least a portion of requested multimedia content is streamed over a network to a client electronic device located in a first country, the network including a plurality of end nodes in different countries that are each configured to host and serve multimedia content;
• identify which route through the network was used to provide the requested multimedia content during the playback session, including indicating which end node located in the first country was used to provide the multimedia content;
• access one or more network steering factors that indicate why the requested multimedia content was steered through the identified network route;
• determine, based on at least one of the network steering factors, that a different end node in a second, different country would have been more suited to providing the requested multimedia content for the playback session;
• and
• transfer at least a portion of the requested multimedia content to the determined end node in the second country, such that the determined different end node in the second country to which the requested multimedia content was transferred provisions the requested multimedia content during subsequent playback sessions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• access data resulting from a playback session in which at least a portion of requested multimedia content is streamed over a network to a client electronic device located in a first country, the network including a plurality of end nodes in different countries that are each configured to host and serve multimedia content;
• identify which route through the network was used to provide the requested multimedia content during the playback session, including indicating which end node located in the first country was used to provide the multimedia content;
• access one or more network steering factors that indicate why the requested multimedia content was steered through the identified network route;
• determine, based on at least one of the network steering factors, that a different end node in a second, different country would have been more suited to providing the requested multimedia content for the playback session;
• and
• transfer at least a portion of the requested multimedia content to the determined end node in the second country, such that the determined different end node in the second country to which the requested multimedia content was transferred provisions the requested multimedia content during subsequent playback sessions.
