On: Netflix claims Fortnite is now a bigger competitor...

Which other websites (or consumer media companies) have cabinets in ISPs arrive the globe; honestly I've only heard of Netflix doing it.

So, are there CDNs without their own racks anywhere?

Some of Google's services.

YouTube does, and a bunch of other sites do it by using Akamai, CloudFlare, Fastly, etc.

[pbhjpbhj → jedberg]

So Akamai, CloudFlare et al. will locate servers in a large ISPs data centre. TIL, I just assumed once a resource had been cached then they'd effectively have that collocation (logically); I'm surprised if avoiding the cost of the first hit really saves anything for static content.

Obviously anyone streaming video, it's different.

I wonder if BBC iPlayer (major streaming service in UK) collocate with ISPs.

Will those servers have a local (to the ISP) IP, or do the Akamai IPs get physically routed to the AS?

Fascinating stuff.
