Performance change after deploying a local cache
Before: 90% below 500 kpbs throughput
After: 50% of users increased throughput above 500 kbps and 5% in excess of 20 Mbps

Traffic increase after deploying a local cache
As performance improved, usage doubled within three months

Various flavors of transit…
- If you do not have a on-net cluster or peering with us, you get served via transit
- If you have an on-net cluster we have to fill the cache, this is aprox. 20% or less of your regular transit requirements for Akamai traffic.
- If we deploy at an IX - We need transit to fill the cache- Transit in Africa is quite expensive so it does often not make sense
economically- We need a transit “sponsor” to enable the cost savings and the performance
improvements for all IX members-> This is a win – win situation for all participants!!!
