A Flap Over BGP? Rather than deliver content from the edge, RouteScience (formerly Speedtrak) is pushing a centralized gadget that apparently pushes out frequent BGP updates in an attempt to optimize traffic. Sounds like it's both competition for CDNs as well as complimentary to them. BGP tweaking is a scary thought though. I need to do so more digging into this one.
From Streaming Media News: A Different Approach to Content Delivery. "RouteScience claims to fundamentally change outbound Internet routing schemes at the enterprise level, but how revolutionary is this new approach?" [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service]
