All, There has been some initial discussions about beyond 400G for Ethernet. It would be interesting to better understand how often this problem is now occurring - because I would imagine the problem is only going to get worse as the "binary blob" blobs out, which will only stress networks more.

After all - it's not like *they* are going to feel the pain of a single 106G upload, it's somebody else who feels the pain of 5 million downloads of a 106G image refresh. Economists call this sort of thing an "externality".
I must admit, I'm blissfully unaware of CDN commercials, but I'd have expected that if I give a CDN my binary 100G binary blob and six people download it, I'd be billed a different amount to if six million people download it - and similarly if that blob is 1G vs 100G. I guess I'm asking if there's an underlying problem with the model here, or if it's just the details of the numbers that are "wrong" in encouraging / discouraging certain behaviou Regards, Tim.
