[AusNOG] Telstra YouTube Servers

[Phillip Britt]

Ok, l think everyone has missed the point of the question, l already
peer with pipe in 4 states and equinix. 

 

The question is, has anyone with TWI had issues with their You Tube
traffic being preferenced to Telstra based You Tube servers rather than
via multi-lateral peering links even when BGP will select the path via
peering, ie they are making a decision in the software to redirect the
session to Telstra based servers, ie not a routing decision.

You can peer with Google via Equinix & Pipe. :)

Have you considered approaching Google to peer directly? I know they
