How about buy the movies in question, convert them to MP4, install a media server on a local box and configure Xbox, tablet, smart-phone, whatever to access the media server? That is how my 3 year old grandson watches the Bubble Guppies movie umpteen million times during a 4 day stay. Just a thought. Oh, it also affords my wife and I the luxury of having our entire movie collection available for on demand viewing. No searching through cases or disc binders. Just a thought. ----- Original Message ----- From: "fredrik danerklint" <fredan-nanog@fredan.se> To: nanog@nanog.org Sent: Friday, February 8, 2013 2:58:42 PM Subject: Re: The 100 Gbit/s problem in your network
"allow my customers as an ISP to cache the content at their home".
Do you *mean* "their home" -- an end-user residence?
Yes, I do *mean* that.
As in you, Jay, should be allowed to run your own cache server in your home (Traffic Server is the one that I'm using in the TLMC concept).
Wouldn't you like that?
It would do little good; my hit rate on such a cache would be unlikely to be high enough to merit the traffic to keep it charged.
(Children watching a movie only once? Not a chance. It's more like unlimited number of times and then some more...). So don't set-up an cache server at your home/residence. -- //fredan
