Sounds like what we do with bbcredux.com, we have approx 800Mb/s of satellite data - freesat, and freeview that we record > This then needs to be redistributed to UK end users on an on demand > basis.

Planes luckily don't crash too often. Can the public access all the images directly or just the ones you release to them? If the latter release them via twitter/flickr then it's someone elses problem. > As we only have a mandate to distribute to the UK, I am thinking that I > can just peer with UK ISPs and deliver the data to their customers. Need to geo restrict non UK or just loosely only build to support Uk anything else is luck?

If you're going all the way to the exchange it seems pointless using an aggregator though if you're so peaky you won't get the peering from the larger people to make it worthwhile. Better to use someone who already peers well, or just transit, the 95% will likely make that short burst effectively free. brandon ----- End Included Message ----- ----- Begin Included Message ----- Date: Thu, 1 May 2014 23:04:18 +0100 (BST) From: Brandon Butterworth <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected] Subject: Re: [uknof] Here is a Challenge > a) Where is your network presently? > b) Why not connect directly to exchange(s) in London, if you're there? > > (Hint: there is no right answer) Some may be cheaper answers. > Be prepared to look at partial transit (i.e. UK peering routes) from a > transit provider, if your bursts come before your direct peering > sessions have been arranged (many are lurking on-list, I'm sure). Or just rent some VMs on a good network with any of the free caching s/w, most modern servers can fill 10G brandon ----- End Included Message -----
