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.

I wonder if this is a prepackaged Open Cache box.

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))

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.

Anyone out there using Netskrt CDN? I mean, installed in your
network
for content delivery to your customers. 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?
