I have some on my network. I don't think they populate content from their own cdn network, but it comes from Amazon. interestingly for the NFL super bowl, while paramount+ streamed the game, on Amazon Prime Video you could "Watch super bowl on paramount+ Via Prime.". that did actually drive users to using the netskrt caches.
They seem to work OK. TNF in 6 months will tell us more. :) On Thu, Apr 4, 2024 at 6:14 PM John Stitt <jst...@hop-electric.com> wrote: > The website says they are part of the Streaming Video Technology Alliance. > > > > I wonder if this is a prepackaged Open Cache box. > > > > https://opencaching.svta.org/ > > > > We also don’t appear to have had any traffic from them.
