[AusNOG] Transparent Caching For Residential ISPs

[Alastair Waddell]

I see that Netflix is responsible for 30% of traffic in the US. Netflix and YouTube together are responsible for > 50%
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/nov/11/netflix-youtube-dominate-us-internet-traffic

But I also hear that Netflix does not allow ISPs to cache, if indeed it’s technically possible.

Netflix require you to use Open Connect https://www.netflix.com/openconnect - if you qualify.

On another note, for those pulling content via peer routes to CDNs etc, will ISPs stop offering peered content for free and begin differentiated billing with something more representative of the cost of getting that content across the NBN to the customer?
