Does that 75 megabits also apply when you are looking to connect via a
public peering point? Some CDN type networks waive or minimize those
requirements if you connect via a public exchange.

Not sure where I heard it (Here I think..) but the magic number is
something like 75Mb/s sustained. So unless you have a few thousand
customers, Your most likely quite below that level.
Blocking a CDN could be a big problem. You never know how much of the
worlds content is CDN based till you do this. Blocking any of the big
ones (Akamai, Limelight.. Bitgravity (to a lesser extent)) will break
more things then you can even imagine. If someone is abusing your
service, I would rate limit them.
To put it in perspective. We have two upstreams, One is prepended,
making the something like 80% of the internet prefer the un-prepended
transit. However, the bandwidth was almost level across the board,
This had me stumped. Turns out every CDN I could find liked the
prepended transit better. So even though 20% of the internet liked
that transit, that 20% happened to include some of the most bandwidth
intensive things around....

AS # is for BGP advertisements. Akamai has a program for ISPs who
use a good deal of bandwidth to their network.

Basically you give them your AS (you have to be multi homed) and
they see if you meet the minimum bandwidth to their network. Your
upstream(s) might already be accelerated so you should make some
inquiries.

Just contact Akamai, and give them your AS #, if you are using any
amount of bandwidth they will colocate in your facilities (for free),
so you can serve much of the Akamai content locally.

Whats your thoughts on blocking limelight IP's just for the customers
that are abusing the service.

It would be just about impossible to do. Netflix uses Akamai, and Hulu
uses a mixture of Akamai and Limelight for "content delivery"
services. These are the same content-delivery services used by just
about everyone that has lots of content to distribute to lots of
people (I'm pretty sure Microsoft uses Akamai for Windows Update, for
instance) - Akamai claims they're responsible for 15 to 20 percent of
all Web traffic on any given day, so blocking Akamai wholesale would
probably be the worst idea.
