Actually it's time for Netflix to get out of the network transport business=
and tell the content providers to get over it or not get carried on Netfli=
x. It used to be that Netflix needed content providers, now I am starting =
to believe it might be the other way around. Netflix might have to take a =
page from the satellite guys and start calling them out publicly. i.e. "Ne=
tflix will no longer be able to provide you with Warner Bros. content becau=
se they are dinosaurs that are worried that someone might be watching in th=
e wrong country. We are pleased to offer you content from producers that a=
re not complete morons...."
As the content producers lose more and more control over the distribution c=
hannel they are going to take whatever terms are necessary to get them on N=
etflix, Apple TV, Comcast, Time Warner, DirecTV and Dish. If you are not o=
n any or all of those platforms, you are going to be dead meat. Who would=
be hurt worse, Netflix or the movie producer that got seen nowhere on thei=
r latest film. To me, this is the last gasp of an industry that lost contr=
ol of its distribution channel years ago and is still trying to impose that=
control.

It's time for Netflix to offer IPv6 tunnels. That way they can correlate I=
Pv4 and IPv6 addresses. Longest match will result is the correct source ad=
dress being selected if they do the job correctly.
