This would be a good compromises for all. Slowly deliver the assets few days/weeks ahead. Then, on April 1st at this exact same second, you open the gate. @Mike: bull’s eye!

That time could be used (and may very well be for some platforms) to distribute the content ahead of when people need it. If too many points of congestion arise, the above mentioned time would need to be longer. Of course as an IX operator, I encourage everyone (CDNs and eyeballs) to join IXes and push them bits at maximum speed! ;-) As an eyeball ISP, sometimes the congestion is in the home, creating a poor experience, yet no one above them is to blame. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com _____ From: "Niels Bakker" <niels=nanog () bakker net <mailto:niels=nanog () bakker net> > To: nanog () nanog org <mailto:nanog () nanog org> Sent: Thursday, April 1, 2021 2:21:24 PM Subject: Re: wow, lots of akamai * nanog () nanog org <mailto:nanog () nanog org> (Jean St-Laurent via NANOG) [Thu 01 Apr 2021, 21:03 CEST]:
An artificial roll out penalty somehow? Probably not at the ISP level, but more at the game level. Well, ISP could also have some mechanisms to reduce the impact or even Akamai could force a progressive roll out.
It's an online game. You can't play the game with outdated assets. You'd not see walls where other players would, for example. What you're suggesting is the ability of ISPs to market Internet access at a certain speed but not have to deliver it based on conditions they create. -- Niels.
