This gives an idea of the spike in Netflix traffic that was being seen on peering exchanges yesterday. I’m not sure if Megaport host Netflix caches or if this is from peering with Netflix but it was a big spike!

I could not care less about a fight but as a network engineer the Netflix issues do interest me. Netflix runs distributed edge servers within many ISPs and peering exchange so content is served fairly locally. ISPs will be seeing a huge spike in traffic from these edge servers so some of the issues people are experiencing are likely congestion at the ISP level rather than Netflix.
