  1. Video Content Networking Does it Scale? GPF 2.0 March 2007 Martin J. Levy – Moderator Patrick Gilmore – Akamai Brokaw Price – Yahoo Guy Tal – Limelight Networks

  2. Introductions • Martin J. Levy • UnitedLayer – Co-location and bandwidth • Patrick Gilmore • Akamai – CDN • Brokaw Price • Yahoo – Portal & Content provider • Guy Tal • Limelight Networks – CDN

  3. Moderated Q&A Session • Why is video traffic so different than non-video traffic? • Streaming vs. non-streaming content • Time-of-day viewing habits • Bandwidth & transfer size per transaction • Crowd-effect vs. bandwidth peaks • Single vs. Distributed location for source

  4. Moderated Q&A Session • Handling larger bandwidths • Must you geographically distribute the content for every piece of source material? • Can you mix video with non-video traffic? • Do peering or transit interconnections at 1Gbps/10Gbps speeds make sense vs. ISP’s actual backbone size? • Does GLB (global load balancing) work in all cases?

  5. Moderated Q&A Session • Co-location & exchange points • Are any of the providers of exchange points offering special services for video providers? • Do exchanges provide the appropriate space (or power) for video source hardware? • Is it fair for a video provider to “suck-up” all the power in exchanges? (or should exchanges prioritize usage of power?)

  6. Moderated Q&A Session • Capacity management • Last-mile bandwidth, is there any? • Multicast – “discuss amongst yourself” • Gridcast/Peer-to-peer/etc. • Do new boxes (AppleTV, TiVo, Media Servers, etc.) change ISP’s bandwidth patterns because of continuous background downloads? • Is it the responsibility of the ISP to handle event driven bandwidth or just let it suck?

  7. Moderated Q&A Session • Emerging technologies • Are there any?

  8. Un-moderated Q&A Session • Questions from the floor
