- mcs 16y agoFor Youtube Instant, the actual search terms are hitting suggestqueries.google.com for the autocompletion, which is what is powering google.com. The actual video coming through is likely from a CDN, which are already built upon an infrastructure for scaling. Probably not as big of a deal as you think. Bandwidth wise it's unlikely that somebody watches the entire video as much as they rapidly hit different videos.
