[AusNOG] Akamai Caches on Equinix Peering and AAPT

[Cameron Ferdinands]

Here goes.

1) Yes
2) The caches may be available but unless content is being served from them
by Akamai, you won't see any traffic. IX Australia also have Akamai caches
on each one of their IX's (http://www.ix.asn.au/)
3) I'm aware of Akamai having a large installation in Melbourne, is there a
specific location you were looking for?
4) This is well documented
http://www.uknof.org.uk/uknof10/Gilmore-Akamai.pdf - There's also a great
Nanog post from Patrick which goes into some further detail.
5) They do, but they have internal policies where you may not always pick
the closest most logical cache to you. From personal experience they may
always prefer your transit providers cache and there's nothing you can do
about that, because $$$
