Actually FB use akamai, so they do have local caches. Only for media AFAICT but then that'd be 99% of your traffic either way..<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 2:39 PM, Luke Iggleden <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:luke+ausnog@sisgroup.com.au" target="_blank">luke+ausnog@sisgroup.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

When was the last time you saw a traceroute from an Australia provider<br>

If there was better financial incentives for businesses to have their content hosted in Australia there would be less content coming from overseas to those networks in Aus.<br>
<br>
Definitely a large amount of traffic, difficult to measure though.<br>
<br>
You could use facebook as a point of reference though. Perhaps they would have cachers in aus if it didn't cost them MORE to deliver it here than what it is to deliver (in my case) any2ix in the states.<br>

(disclaimer, I didn't look at if there was any in page cdn's before writing this, just all of the hosts are over seas)<br>
