Re: Netskrt - ISP-colo CDN

[Jesse DuPont]

Right now, Amazon Prime is sponsoring the deployment of the caches. They deploy in your network and requests from your IPs (v4 or v6) are redirected to your on-net caches. For on-demand content, it's loaded nightly (as best they can predict) and for live (like TNF), it's a one-to-many HLS media server for participating content.

They contacted me last year, they were claiming to be "working with some of the major streaming brands, such as Amazon Prime Video, to improve the quality of both VOD and live streaming while also reducing the load on ISP networks such as your own.". Based on my quick research, they have a few registered ASNs (their peeringdb page) with a few netblocks but I get 0 traffic from them (we're a sizable eyeball network). Their origin network might still not be ready but digging a little bit more, it seems they act as a third-party video caching solution and not as an origin CDN so in the end, they're really just trying to sell ISPs and other types of customers their caching solutions.
