Can anyone give a breakdown of the different kinds of content deliver =
networks? For example, we have Akamai, which appears to be a pure Layer =
3 network that is tailored to pushing relatively small files like web =
pages and we have Lime Light Networks, which is a mix of Layer 1 and =
Layer 3, that focuses on bigger files like video streams.=20
Any insights out there? And what are the major challenges in making =
scalable content delivery networks?

We're Juniper right now, but we're looking at the Foundry MLX line for
possible future sites due to cost/performance. So I'd be interested in
folks' experience with Foundry's Terathon gear and associated IronWare
revs. Its supposed to be a lot better than the JetCore stuff
(cam-trashing problems etc.) but it'd be nice to hear what folks are
seeing in real life.
Best Regards,
Jason

Any experiences of Foundry routing w/ more complex protocols (PIM,=20
MSDP, various IPv6 stuff)?
The last time we tried running non-C/J as a router was a very Extreme=20
experience and we swore never again to touch similar router underdogs=20
in the future.
