Re: Netskrt - ISP-colo CDN

[Eric Dugas via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

That name rang a bell so I looked up my emails.

They contacted me last year, they were claiming to be "working with some of
the major streaming brands, such as Amazon Prime Video, to improve the
quality of both VOD and live streaming while also reducing the load on ISP
networks such as your own.".

Based on my quick research, they have a few registered ASNs (their peeringdb
page <https://www.peeringdb.com/org/36226>) with a few netblocks but I get
0 traffic from them (we're a sizable eyeball network). Their origin network
might still not be ready but digging a little bit more, it seems they act
as a third-party video caching solution and not as an origin CDN so in the
end, they're really just trying to sell ISPs and other types of customers
their caching solutions.
