Re: The 100 Gbit/s problem in your network

You're missing the entire point: all web caches *already* work with DASH and the proprietary HTTP chunking flavors. It's just HTTP request/response data. My employer's statistics show this to be true; we do video for compliance training and we see massive benefit from local caches in our customer's networks. We send a cache-enabled customer site each video chunk just about once on average, and their cache takes care of distribution to up to thousands of internal viewers. HTTP chunk streaming works today with Silverlight/Flash/Quicktime plugins, and there is a working prototype of the standardized DASH that use only an modern web browser and JavaScript with no plug-ins: http://dash-mse-test.appspot.com/dash-player.html
