Fair enough, in the cases where operators are Netflix OC partners and might see a shift in network use from a Netflic OC appliance to external their network to other streaming services.

But for an operator who doesn't have an OC Appliances, is there likely to be much difference? I suppose that was the context I was thinking in.

Sure. You could see changes in where traffic comes from. It may shift from peering to transit.

That said, I (admittedly, idly) wonder what percentage of users (world- wide, by nation, geographical area, etc.) are served by OC Appliances. I really have no clue as to the penetration of OC Appliances.

OCAs make a huge difference in our network. Between the two ASs we operate in different regions - to the tune of maybe 40 Gbps. -- Clayton Zekelman Managed Network Systems Inc. (MNSi) 3363 Tecumseh Rd. E Windsor, Ontario N8W 1H4 tel. 519-985-8410 fax. 519-985-8409
