At least for Akamai and I believe Netflix as well the more eyeballs going to the caches, the more diverse the content available on the cache. The more networks using a cache, the more likely the content you want is on the cache.

Also more redundant. I have our netflix cluster spread between two separate on-net facilities, so I don’t need a costly protected path to the IX.

There isn't a lot of eyeball networks.

From: Roger Timmerman Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2016 8:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Upstream, going beyond 1 gig SLIX started with Xmission and UTOPIA Fiber. They (Xmission) kept track of the peering relationships and provided the IP subnet, UTOPIA Fiber provided a VPLS across its network so that anyone could connect to it at any of the major data centers in Utah or even at their place of business if it had a UTOPIA Fiber connection. It has definitely grown over the years, and several connect to it outside of UTOPIA, but I think most of it still rides across UTOPIA.

Not sure where they’re at, but I can pick them up at Delong. SLIX we connect to at Delong St.. but I know others interconnect elsewhere. Honestly, it’s not too expensive to get a 10G to San Jose from SLC and get on the Equinix IX there… or even LA. I got plenty of capacity I can sell ya if you’re interested? :) <blockquote> On Sep 11, 2016, at 4:50 PM, Chuck McCown < [email protected] > wrote: Are these things physically located in a single data center? -----Original Message----- From: Ivan Kohler Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2016 4:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Upstream, going beyond 1 gig On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 09:07:20PM +0000, Chuck McCown wrote: <blockquote> Like to get an IX in SLC.
