Akamai streaming cluster on APE.
Hi All, This is a courtesy email to let those peering at APE know that their APE traffic may start to increase today. Callplus and Akamai have worked together to deploy an Akamai streaming cluster on the APE. ISPs peered at the APE accessing Akamai streaming content (e.g. trailers.apple.com) should see this traffic shift from your transit providers to APE today or in the near future. The IP address range for this cluster is 119.224.143.0/26. To check you are reaching it correctly trailers.apple.com should resolve to an IP address within 119.224.143.0/26 and route via callplus1.ape.net.nz. Regards, Steve
Hi Steve, As an end user I can't begin to express how happy I am that my Akamai content will start coming from New Zealand, instead of from Japan via San Jose. Cheers to Callplus!

Indeed, and Xtra/TCL are certainly not the only ones. But kudos to Callplus for putting one on the APE. That'll do wonders for performance of smaller players and private networks. I imagine it'll be a while before CHIX gets one, so we'll still be paying for backhaul down here.

Hi Guys, To nip this in the bud before we get overwhelmed by the me-toos, the Akamai *caching* servers are different to the *streaming* servers. Start a Apple trailer playing and check out where the traffic is coming from. Hope this clears things up for people. Cheers, Patrick On 31/07/2008, at 4:02 PM, Bill Walker wrote:

I didn't want to over complicate the checking method but I should have put a proviso in the first email: when you have Akamai static caches closer to you the only real check is to take a capture of the streaming traffic and see where its hitting, as Patrick mentioned below. Steve

Global Gateway/TNZ International/Whatever have an Akamai cluster in NZ, which Xtra customers use. Philip already mentioned TelstraClear. -- Nathan Ward

Hi All,
This is a courtesy email to let those peering at APE know that their APE traffic may start to increase today.
Callplus and Akamai have worked together to deploy an Akamai streaming cluster on the APE. ISPs peered at the APE accessing Akamai streaming content (e.g. trailers.apple.com) should see this traffic shift from your transit providers to APE today or in the near future.
The IP address range for this cluster is 119.224.143.0/26. To check you are reaching it correctly trailers.apple.com should resolve to an IP address within 119.224.143.0/26 and route via callplus1.ape.net.nz.
