Hang on a minute.....
That last paragraph in his blog sounds awfully similar to something I=20
posted here the other day !
He says on the 23rd of September :
Users are paying service providers to deliver their IP packets. If=20
providers cant handle the volume of traffic that they=92re being asked to=
=20
deliver then its probably time for them to reevaluate their commercial=20
structure (charge customers more) or to redesign/overhaul their networks=20
(invest in CDNs, etc). Remember, with everyone connecting to the=20
=93cloud=94, the traffic that providers will be asked to push is only goi=
ng=20
to increase with time ..
I said on the 20th of September :
Your user is paying you to push packets. If that's causing you a=20
problem, you either need to review your commercial structure (i.e.=20
charge people more) or your technical network design. Face the facts,=20
what with everyone jumping on the "cloud" bandwagon, the future is only=20
going to see you pushing more packets, not less ! So if you can't stand=20
the heat, get out of the kitchen (or the xSP industry).
Hmmmmmm.......... ;-(
