[AusNOG] Thoughts about IP Transit

[Chris Gibbs]

Good video Skeeve.

Expanding your rationale, instead of purchasing overhead in transit speed, wouldn’t it be more efficient to source transit over megaport (or other??) and pay per hour/day/month/whatever. Potentially even grabbing upstream from a ‘transit broker’ (I don’t even know if they exist?) that is a clearing house for current unused upsteam? Similar to spot reserve in EC2 I’d imagine

Sure have dedicated upstream for known traffic patterns but ‘burst’ out for anything else.

Couple it with a decent API and an underlying programmable network and I think it could be decent

Cheers,

Subject: [AusNOG] Thoughts about IP Transit

Hey all,

This is a follow-up video relating to the current state of the transit space discussion recently.  I thought I would get some thoughts out of my head as a lot of people ask me about transit and I thought others might find it useful.

This video isn't meant to stir up people, but I am sure it may, especially those selling transit in a certain way.  This video is more about educating people about the value of transit in certain kinds of ways.  It is about 14 mins long, but I'd like to know what you thought if you have time to watch it.
