Two things I am curious about are 1) What is the measured benefit of moving a netflix server into your local ISP network and 2) does anyone measure "cross town latency". If we lived in a world where skype/voip/etc transited the local town only, what sort of latencies would be see within an ISP and within a cross-connect from, say a gfiber to a comcast? Once upon a time I'd heard that most phone calls were within 6 miles of the person's home, but I don't remember the breakdown of those call percentages (?), and certainly the old-style phone system was achieving very low latencies for those kinds of traffic. > On 04/15/15 17:28, Rod Beck wrote: >> Hi, >> >> >> As you all know, transit costs in the wholesale market today a few percent >> of what it did in 2000.
