it’s routed through a high-performance interconnect instead of the public Internet
The public internet does seem to be shrinking, more and more closed data silos and now huge chunks of traffic going through a 'trusted' man-in-the-middle. From an individual sites standpoint it's amazing (and I use it for most of my sites), but the bigger they become the more juicy a target they are.
- rakoo 11y agoIs this not some kind of peering, though ? The way I see it, Cloudflare decided to peer with Google instead of using transit or, even worse, public internet (with the overhead it has over AS-to-AS connections). I don't see how the "public internet" somehow lost anything.
