Perhaps we should look at existing setups implemented by companies such as akamai forguidelines regarding how to resolve this kind of issue...and if you are a Content Delivery Network wishing to use a cache deployment architecture you should do just that ... but for networks with big backbones as per this discussion we need to do something else
Ignoring "Akamai" and looking at just content providers (CDN or otherwise) in general, there is a huge difference between telling a web server "do not serve more than 900 Mbps on your GigE port", and a router which simply gets bits from random sources to be forwarded to random destinations.
IOW: Steve is right, those are two different topics. -- TTFN, patrick
