Re: MLB.com performance

Yes, we are an INS customer. I've never seen MLB content stream from the Akamai cluster at INS, but then again, we've not monitored this on an ongoing basis. I described the issue to INS and asked them to ask Akamai, but they weren't willing to do so, saying that it was up to Akamai how run their business and it was none of their business. I don't disagree that it's Akamai's caches and business, but my concern was about my customers' streaming performance and my question is if Akamai possibly overlooked streaming this content more locally to AS5056. Hence my more generic question to MICE. I don't know the age or the size of the Akamai cluster at INS. But it sounds like the consensus is that I shouldn't be surprised if video streaming-related content isn't streamed by Akamai cluster our customers normally use. Thanks, Frank P.S. we weren't willing to test on our dime, either, but our customer was kind enough to share his credentials.

Getting it from RIPE doesn't seem right :( As far as where it 'should be coming from' though I dunno. netINS out of IOWA may not have the right kind of Akamai gear to handle the streaming stuff. I am very sure the small cluster we have at ipHouse can't do it. Are you a netINS customer? Regardless of customer status - have you asked netINS if they have had any outages with Akamai gear? That can impact services as part of it is offline. Last question - have you ever had MLB.com stream from the netINS Akamai cluster before or are you just assuming it should come from there? -- Mike Horwath ipHouse - Welcome home! drechsau(a)iphouse.net The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes. - Berkeley Fortune ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1 ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Re: MLB.com performance

by David Farmer

Those look like they could be Akamai clusters on big providers networks. How big are the local Akamai clusters? How old? Smaller and older clusters don't support all content especially video streaming. We had to go to 10G before we got a cluster that supported video streaming, and its only about 3 years old at most. Even then there is content that is only supported by Akamai operated clusters like at the MICE exchange. I'm not exactly sure where MLB.com fits, when I go there most of it comes from our local cluster. But, I'm not going to subscribe just the verify that the live game content comes from the local cluster too, sorry. Also, its possible that your local clusters are topped out or disabled for some reason, Akamai is good about shedding load when a cluster is overloaded. The two clusters you talk about both seem to be located in Chicago, so there are probably reasonable clusters to serve you. Akamai is pretty good about that usually, and if there is a problem they usually find and fix it fairly quickly. If your question is why aren't you being served from the local cluster, I would ask when they were last upgraded, and see if they need to be upgraded, Akamai is usually happy to do so.
