Agreed ... it generally doesn't make sense to install caches where the
content is just a few racks over.
But if you have a network that serves smaller population centers where
CDNs are sparse or non-existent, then it gets the content closer to the
eyeballs and saves considerably on transport bandwidth back to
"civilization."

I have been trying to get _away_ from caching appliances on our network — other
than Google, we are able to pick up most of the stuff that otherwise would be
cacheable via private peering; so it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for us
to have appliances in the datacenter taking up space, power, and 100G ports,
and increasing potential attack surface by having devices that we cannot
control directly connected to edge routers.

Anyone out there using Netskrt CDN? I mean, installed in your network for
content delivery to your customers. I understand Netskrt provides caching for
some well known online video streaming services... just wondering if there are
any network operators that have worked with Netskrt and deployed their caching
servers in your networks and what have you thought about it? What Internet
uplink savings are you seeing?
