How is that a secret?
- peterkelly 7y agoI didn't know it, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one. https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/
- kbutler 7y agoHear, hear - celebrate learning, not membership in the "in-the-know" crowd.
- makapuf 7y agoC'mon, everyone knows that.
- FortCollinsDev 7y agoThanks for the share!
- grecy 7y agoThe ISP I worked for worked very, very hard to keep it a secret from customers, forcing everyone involved to sign an NDA, etc.
- dgemm 7y agoWell, as a subscriber everything beyond your cable modem is "the internet" and you don't care how the ISP's network is set up internally. CDNs, netflix, etc have all been embedding devices in carrier networks for years. Some of your ISP's connectivity probably comes via settlement-free peering, yet we pay for that too. None of this is a secret, it's just how the internet's plumbing works.
