Absolutely, why should they bother? They make more money by routing more traffic - no matter if that's an YouTube video or a botnet request.

- lifeisstillgood 8y agoI'm pretty sure (exISP) that routing costs. At a minimum you have to maintain free peering infrastructure at IXs perhaps, or if you are not a Tier 1 you basically pay for upstream access. Its why cacheing is all ISPs really care about. Its why Akamai makes ISPs happy by adding a edge router in their network. Presumably netflix too.
