I doubt Akamai will use them evenly. Akamai will toss traffic wherever it is most advantageous to Akamai. They will not likely saturate anyone's network (after all, that's also counter-productive for their own goals in most cases). Owen On Apr 13, 2011, at 7:38 PM, Frank Bulk wrote:
If three carriers participated by providing transit, how would Akamai use the transit links evenly, either between transit links or participating carriers?

If I placed one of the smaller Akamai clusters in 511, would carriers be interested in peering with the condition that they provide transport to "feed" the cluster?
The idea would be that carriers using the cluster would share in the costs. So Carrier A would peer over MICE a router in front of the cluster with the agreement that they advertise the cluster IP addresses to the Internet. Carrier B would do the same thing.
