Global CDN with a fixed monthly cost and a capped bandwidth. For example, pay 100$/month and get up to 1Gb/s, traffic above this limit is dropped.
Providers today offer uncapped bandwidth, some, like Amazon, without any cost cap, some, like KeyCDN, allow to set a cost cap, but take the resources off-line when the limit is exceeded.
- artursapek 10y agoWhy on earth would anyone want their CDN traffic to drop? Rise in traffic usually comes with a rise in revenue - it's a good problem to have.
- funnyfacts365 10y agoUnless the traffic increase is a DDoS, then you're spending money on people who are attacking you...
- artursapek 10y agoYes, but one has to assume that's an exception and mitigate that manually (like shutting down the CDN temporarily)
