This web site is your friend: www.peeringdb.com A short while ago I was talking about peering and upstream selection on this list.
I doubt there's much of putting boxes somewhere due to the massive amounts of content now required to be on that box. There's obviously a lot in Ashburn, but Equinix is damn expensive... to the point where it's not exactly worth it from a cost savings perspective. You also have Vienna and DC right there. Being that close to DC, it can't be too difficult for you to get on some metro fiber and ride into these data centers to purchase cheap transit and peer with some of these guys. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Patrick Shoemaker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 6:47 AM To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Subject: [WISPA] CDN peering > With all the talk of Netflix and other bandwidth-intensive streaming > applications that are on the horizon, has anyone here looked into > peering with any of the major CDNs to reduce transit costs?
