Isn’t that the entire point of a CDN, to have decentralized POPs scattered globally?
Yes, they may max out at 100gb per public IX in most cases, but they still have lots of 100gb peers all over the globe.
- walrus01 9y agoYes, it's exactly the point. What I was saying is I am not off by an order of magnitude, I know exactly how big they are. Two ASes I do engineering work for peer directly with cloudflare.
- jsjohnst 9y ago> I am not off by an order of magnitude, I know exactly how big they are. Your post implied a total of 200-400gb, the real number is 10x that (otherwise known as “order of magnitude”). I’m not disputing your knowledge or experience, but the post as written has issues.
- walrus01 9y agono, my post was quite specifically about a single IX point in one geographical location, and was accurate. You confused me talking about interface sizes and counts at one IX point with cloudflare as a whole.
- jsjohnst 9y agoWhat difference does it how much they have as peering in one specific geo? Are you going to posit then that that is their capacity in that geo? I hope not, as Cloudflare has their own backbone and could easily and efficiently exchange traffic outside the geo depending on peering agreements.
