Very good point on cache servers for Netflix and YouTube. Telcos save a lot of money when they terminate the traffic in their network. Private relay may affect that. Although apple’s solution could be clever about it.
- mariojv 5y agoApple's solution could be clever about it, and it currently doesn't even block edge routing on mobile apps. It currently only supports Safari traffic, and most streaming will be via an app with things like Netflix. I suppose if YouTube routes to an edge that may be affected if viewing via Safari, but I'd be surprised if peering agreements aren't made when Private Relay goes out of beta.
- mike_d 5y agoI think this is honestly the biggest legitimate concern for the carriers: where the bits go. Right now a hypothetical metro area might have a 20G circuit to Carrier A, a 20G circuit to Carrier B, and 20G of private peering to {Netflix, Google, etc}. With private relay they need to rip all that out and replace it with a 60G pipe to Apple.
