We're currently seeing about 80% of our AS20940 origin traffic coming from transit, and I'm certain there's a significant additional amount which is difficult to identify coming from on-net caches at our upstream providers (though it appears from the thread that may be reducing as well). Only about 20% is coming from peering where we have significantly more capacity and lower costs. Whatever the algorithm is doing, from my perspective it doesn't make a lot of sense and is pretty frustrating, and I'm somewhat concerned about busting commits and possibly running into congestion for the next big event that does hit us, which would not be a problem if it were delivered over peering.
We've had 2 or 3 customers, in the last 3 months, complain about the same thing - where they are seeing Akamai traffic drop over peering but preferred via their transit service with us. We run a number of Akamai AANP caches across our backbone. We are working very closely with Akamai - and the customers - to resolve this, I'll add. Mark.
