I'm aware of Stratus which is used for ChatRoulette with a requirement of Flash 10. Does anyone happen to know if ESPN uses the same technology or is it just the sheer amount of servers they have which makes this possible?

+1  A: 

According to here it's a combination of the new FMS3.5, adaptive bitrate streaming, Flex 4 and OSMF. I guess the performance/quality wins comes from the adaptive bitrates? Nothing about stratus, though, and that blog is from an Adobe evangelist, so I guess he'd have mentioned if it was involved. All together pretty damned impressive though, I agree.
