Why an IP has so many thousands of request?

Based on our HLS delivery, a hit is considered as the number of requests to CDN for a file, in short, it is counted as a hit for each single chunk request.

HLS works by breaking the overall stream into a sequence of small HTTP-based file downloads, each download loading one short chunk of an overall stream, so it counts the request for each chunks.
