Re: Netskrt - ISP-colo CDN

I suppose that depends on the size (bits and miles) of the network and the cost of transport within it. In many areas, 
space + power + port is cheaper than transport.

I have been trying to get _away_ from caching appliances on our network — other than Google, we are able to pick up 
most of the stuff that otherwise would be cacheable via private peering; so it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for us 
to have appliances in the datacenter taking up space, power, and 100G ports, and increasing potential attack surface by 
having devices that we cannot control directly connected to edge routers.
