I get that. We were in the same boat here in Houston up until getting space at 
Databank HOU2. Since all of the big content networks have presence there, only 
made sense. We were looking at all of the caching options available prior to 
doing that, however… and we’ll likely have to keep our Google stuff until 
either we go to D-FW, or Google comes to Houston.

 Yeah, to date I haven’t been in a place where peering is a reality, yet.  CDN 
providers sending servers to us has been our best option.

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.
