Facebook does not open peer. https://www.facebook.com/peering/ https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/32934 So you need to get in touch with them to peer with them, assuming you meet their standard (50mbps of exchanges between you and them). So you need to establish a peering relationship before you can use it. And even if you peer, there is no garantee you get your "big" data from the nearest. You may get the HTML from the nearest but their "logic" may decide that your images or videos will be served from some other site because of how the decide this (database of DNS servers etc). (when they generate the html for your customers, they would include URLs that point to distant servers at which point no amount of peering will change that. You need to find out why the content provider's logic doesn't feed your customers URLs to the nearest CDN.
