[AusNOG] Telstra YouTube Servers

[Simon Allard]

You will need to contact Telstra and ask them not to advertise your routes to their google cache infrastructure.

If that fails, the google cache noc are pretty responsive. They will be able to give you advice on how to get your youtube served from a better location.

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 have
a PoP at Globalswitch.
