But, that could work to BBN's favor! If BBN wants to sell connectivity to a big web farm provider, how does BBN's forcing all hits through a cache help BBN? The data all still crosses BBN's backbone, and the the web farm provider won't need as big a pipe. Maybe I'm missing something, but if BBN starts charging former peers, I'd think caching at these edges would be a bad thing for BBN. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <[email protected]> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | drawn and quartered...whichever Florida Digital Turnpike | is more convenient. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____
