[AusNOG] Comindico routing

[Campbell, Alex]

Yep.  My point though is that TPG can save a fair bit of money by only
buying expensive bandwidth for HTTP, and cheap bandwidth for the rest of
their traffic.  It's important that HTTP seems responsive as that's what
most users care about.

I think he was saying that from an ISP's perspective, there isn't much
point to proxying HTTP for the sake of saving bandwidth, as the
bandwidth saved would be little in terms of the total bandwidth
required.

HTTP traffic might be a low percentage of overall bandwidth, but it is a
very high percentage of what most (non-technical) users care about.

surely there are better ways of achieving this in your routers,

simply differentiating the route based on TCP port 80 would get 85% of
their clients..
sure people could bypass it, but it wouldn't be in their interest to do
so in the case your proposing.
It would also have the upside of people being able to do host overrides,
and not breaking some sites.

the whole proxy thing is kinda odd actually, being that ive seen figures
around that HTTP traffic is now such a low percentage of bandwidth...
why bother.  I guess they still figure its 'enough'

        As I understand the proxies are on ranges that are advertised to
the
        "good" bandwidth supply so that customers browsing remains
relatively
        unaffected regardless of how hard they run the "bad" bandwidth
supply.
