Thanks. What's an eyeball network ? How do you know my "current mix is decent" ? Btw, I have onsite the cdn's aanp, ggc, oca, fna, so only about ~60% of my customer traffic is from Internet uplinks... ~40% is served from local cdn's Aaron > On May 16, 2018, at 2:31 PM, Jared Geiger

Hello, Also Sparkle (AS6762) has a significant footprint in South America, I'd say even bigger than Level 3 because they have mobile telco and broadband ISP in Brazil. I wouldn't worry much with latency in NA because at least in South America they do hot potato (as everyone does) and all their

If most of your traffic is for US based destinations, you might see worse performance since Sparkle doesn't seem to have many US POPs/Peering locations compared to Centurylink/Level3 or HE. You'd probably benefit more by pulling in some peering from Dallas than adding or replacing a transit

Replace Level3 with CenturyLink as they're basically taking over AS33566. Would add Zayo (AS6461) to the list. I'm not familiar with Sparkle/Seabone to be honest as we're operating an eyeball network exclusively in the NA. On May 16 2018, at 10:54 am, Aaron Gould wrote: > >
