- shacharz 10y agotraffic is as localized as possible. As a general rule you can think of, if the peer is more local to you than the nearest CDN PoP you'll receive data from the peer, otherwise you'll receive data from the CDN. >Cool! Does this mean all peer traffic is local ? Also, how can you detect when traffic is metered ? We combine both client side and server side methods for that.
