Thanks ... that svta caching sounds interesting. i watched the presentation, but don't understand how it's used by ISP's that want to benefit from it.

The website says they are part of the Streaming Video Technology Alliance. I wonder if this is a prepackaged Open Cache box. https://opencaching.svta.org/We also don’t appear to have had any traffic from them. Not much on the peeringdb for the USA ASN either.BGP.tools shows they have upstreams with each ASN, and are on Ohio IX with AS53471, but not really any peers anywhere. Looks like Cogent and Zayo for upstreams and only peer I see is AS1239 (Sprint Wireline (Cogent))John Stitt*From:*NANOG <nanog-bounces+jstitt=hop-electric.com () nanog org> *On Behalf Of *Aaron Gould*Sent:* Thursday, April 4, 2024 4:36 PM *To:* Eric Dugas <edugas () unknowndevice ca> *Cc:* nanog () nanog org *Subject:* Re: Netskrt - ISP-colo CDNYou don't often get email from aaron1 () gvtc com.

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.

I understand Netskrt provides caching for some well known online video streaming services... just wondering if there are any network operators that have worked with Netskrt and deployed their caching servers in your networks and what have you thought about it? What Internet uplink savings are you seeing? Netskrt - https://www.netskrt.io/-- -Aaron-- -AaronCAUTION:This email originated from outside of the organization.
