Key Points to Educate this Customer
If they want to be on the Internet
- there currently are no end-to-end performance guarantees
- they should examine VPN alternatives
- or accept more performance variability
- Distributed caches might help, but not for executables
If their focus is on “servers,”
- routing doesn’t know about individual hosts
- unless we want to melt down in /32 routes
- they probably want a DNS, not routing, solution
- they need to understand an ISP cannot affect a nonadjacent AS with whom they have no contract
