I threw a question out a number of months ago about caching\, and we of course reached out to Netflix in regards to acquiring an OpenConnec t appliance. Even reached out to our ISP some time ago who we had noted we re killing us with Netflix traffic from their OpenConnect appliance for so me help\, like a non-transit peer. We got nowhere with either.\n\nWe were kind of stuck and we sought our own caching solution. We went with Qwilt. So far I think we are one of 3 Universities in the country that have it ru nning. There's an upcoming webinar if you want to learn more about it and feel free to reach out to me off list\, but as far as the nuts and bolts g o--it just works.\n\nWe offload about 60% of Netflix traffic locally. Appl e and Windows updates all are non-issues. The biggest thing is perceived s peed. It's all transparent\, so clients don't care where its coming from. They just watch their iOS device update to 8.2 in 3 minutes and say "WOW". I was in our student union building over lunch last week\, and heard two separate conversations about how people have thought that the network has gotten much faster because of how fast their iPhones have updated. Even ap ps on my own phone update in a flash. But you can clearly see how far and wide Netflix is as the top consumer of streaming video for us.\n\nI got an Apple TV to test with in our group and I hooked it up to my Netflix accou nt and noted how absolutely smooth the playback experience was. HD is just ON all the time\, no buffering. Fast forwarding\, rewinding\, to an insta nt play. Like you were watching local content...\n\nThe raw reports are at tached. The numbers are a bit lower for the first one since we are now at the tail end of Spring Break\, but I pulled the second one from the peak t ime of of the last week that shows the difference of quality of experience from content delivered locally versus from the internet.\n\n\n\nLong stor y short\, we found that we had to help ourselves. I can guarantee we pay o ne of the highest rates--if not THE highest rate--for peering bandwidth in the nation up here. A server like this has turned out to be worth its wei ght in gold as we head into tough budget times. It will have paid for itse lf before the year is over.\n\n\n\nBritton Anderson<mailto:blanderson3@ala ska.edu> | Senior Network Communications Specialist | Universi ty of Alaska<http://www.alaska.edu/oit> | 907.450.8250\n\n\nOn Thu\, Mar 19\, 2015 at 11:02 AM\, Lunceford\, Daniel <[email protected]< mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:\n\nTechnically the user would als o have to subscribe to the higher rate\nplan (when last I checked):\n\n S D: $7.99/mo\n HD: $8.99/mo\n UHD: $11.99/mo\n\nSo technically\, the use r would have to also be a subscriber to the\nHD/UHD services which might l imit your growth a bit.\n\n-drl\n\n\n--\nDan Lunceford\nManager of Network ing Services\nNew Mexico Tech\[email protected]<mailto:dlunceford@ admin.nmt.edu>\, 575-835-5961<tel:575-835-5961>\n\n\n-----Original Message -----\nFrom: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv\n[mai lto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected] SE.EDU>] On Behalf Of Steve Bohrer\nSent: Thursday\, March 19\, 2015 11:38 AM\nTo: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected] DUCAUSE.EDU>\nSubject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] netflix question\n\nAn interesti ng factor in Netflix (and presumably other streaming video)\nis that they will scale their display resolution based on available\nbandwidth. This ca n make bandwidth planning projections murky. For\nexample\, from the "Your Account > My Profile > Playback settings" menu\nitem for my Netflix accou nt\, there are the following options:\n\n"* Auto\n* Low (basic video quali ty\, up to 0.3 GB per hour) * Medium (standard\nvideo quality\, up to 0.7 GB per hour) * High (best video quality\, up to\n3 GB per hour for HD\, 7 GB per hour for Ultra HD)"\n\nAuto is the default\, and the range from 0.3 GB per hour to 7 GB per hour\nis a factor of about 23.\n\nSO\, if most of my users are currently getting "Medium" quality at peak\ndemand times\, I could double or quadruple my available bandwidth\, and\,\neven if user de mand were completely unchanged\, all the existing Netflix\nflows could exp and to soak up all of the bandwidth increase.\n\nAs a rule of thumb for pl anning\, we been assuming "bandwidth demand will\ndouble about every year and a half to two years." In fact\, however\,\nNetflix demand can scale up by an order of magnitude with absolutely no\nchange in user behavior.\n\n (Presently\, we are small and constrained enough that we run an Allot\nNet Enforcer "packet shaper" at our edge\, and streaming video gets a\nlower p riority than general HTML traffic. Even so\, during evening prime\nuse per iods\, Netflix and other streaming video are generally 50% or more\nof our total inbound traffic.)\n\nSteve Bohrer\nNetwork Admin\, ITS\nBard Colleg e at Simon's Rock\n413-528-7645<tel:413-528-7645>\n\n**********\nParticipa tion and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent\nGroup dis cussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.\n\n********* *\nParticipation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituen t Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.\n \n********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/ groups/.\n********** Participation and subscription information for this E DUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educa use.edu/groups/.\n\n UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E008000000000063D9F7EB62D001000000000000000 01000000013CB71A892895641A290F4FFBCDECD2D SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-US:Canceled: [WIRELESS-LAN] netflix question DTSTART;TZID=Mountain Standard Time:20150326T100000 DTEND;TZID=Mountain Standard Time:20150326T103000 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:1 DTSTAMP:20150320T145942Z TRANSP:OPAQUE STATUS:CANCELLED SEQUENCE:1 LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en-US:e552 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-APPT-SEQUENCE:1 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-OWNERAPPTID:-1554761761 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:FREE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:FREE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:2 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INSTTYPE:0 X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
