Hello NANOGers. I am in the process of scouting for CDN node locations for content delivery to end users in the US. Currently looking at Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Miami and New York. Would much appreciate any recommendations, best practices or advice on how/where to get good connectivity to the large eyeball networks. Being small fish, connectivity will be based on the transit I can score or in general connectivity that DCs/server providers offer in the locations chosen. John
Hi John, Take a look at - http://as7018.peeringdb.com http://as701.peeringdb.com http://as7922.peeringdb.com http://as7843.peeringdb.com http://as22773.peeringdb.com http://as20115.peeringdb.com Most list interconnect locations, others have policy pointers which list cities of interest.

Hi John, Add Northern Virginia to the list. Then move it to the top. Historically, telecommunications on the US east coast hubbed in NoVA, just outside Washington DC, making it an attractive area for early Internet peering points like MAE-East. That has evolved over the past decade but NoVA still holds a commanding position in Internet interconnectivity. There are a number of local data centers most interconnected by multiple dark fiber providers. The most connected is probably Equinix in Ashburn VA. YMMV as to whether its cost-effective for a "small fish." Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
