I think for such an approach we'd be happy to provide a wavelength that akamai could attach 10gbps or 40gbps SFP's to our CWDM kit to push it to our datacentre, APE could sponsor a 10 or 40gbps port and somehow we collectively provide transit internationally or perhaps the DNC/NZRS could assist? One thing I have noticed is that akamai is available via APE (Vocus hop), the only problem is because we are with vocus the return path is via our transit link. I assume that if the akamai boxes hosted off the APE had no transit provided, they may use vocus APE link to fetch the content. Again talks would need to be had with Vocus to ensure they were happy with this so it doesnt just break. Cheers B On Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:14:10 +1300, Nathan Ward wrote:
I meant for a "sky tower hosted Akamai". The implication is that it is proposed to be provider independent, is that not the case?
My understanding is that Akamai push some stuff, and some stuff is pulled on demand. Does that answer your question?

Obviously Callplus would pay for it but ask yourself this; Would the content be front loaded into the cache whether everyone else was using it or just Callplus. Mind blown yet?

Who would pay for the transit to feed it?

I made the suggestion back in July 2010 that perhaps we need a Skytower hosted Akamai, Jay from NZRS suggested he was actually looking into this, then Mike Jager pointed us to this. http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/2008-July/014249.html where callplus actively advertised the free use of the Akamai cluster they have.
