Reagen would be lambasted at Fox for being a touchy-feely anti-business

*perk* A new Usenet client? I've toyed with the idea of designing one
myself, but haven't yet found enough spare time to do it. Do tell us

Nothing to say that I haven't said in the past in various discussions.  
I see the present/future of Usenet as a content delivery network (CDN) 
that could/should have been used not only as the basis of open social 
network for discussions, but for making things like podcasts available 
instead of having small content providers crushed under the weight of 
bandwidth costs.  But, in general, I see the messages as distinct from 
the medium, so my *plan* is to have a client that eventually goes beyond 
NNTP to offer other messaging (IMAP, POP, RSS feeds, Twitter, whatever).  
I'm focussing on Usenet, though, because of the sad state of affairs it 
has on the Mac, especially now that MT-NW is dead.

What I have implemented so far is a basic NNTP framework that handles 
communication with the server, and higher-level classes built on top of 
that for groups and articles.  The app on top of that is currently 
multi-window documents like MT-NW rather than one tri-pane window like 
Mail.  It's reading and writing newsrc files, and I can right now get 
the overviews and articles, but it's not pretty.  No posting or 
authentication or filtering yet.  I can use it to go through the dozen 
groups I read on Gmane, but that's it.  Lots of work to do before it's 
usable to any real degree.  You'll know it's getting closer when my user 
agent stops being MT-NW.  :-)

Maybe.  If in one case an ISP is streaming videos from YouTube to each 
of their 10000 customers and in the other case they're offering 
something that's been cached locally on an in-house Usenet server, they 
would be saving a *ton* of bandwidth going with the 2nd option.

Yep, but still charging their customer the same excessively

Nope.  Usenet will cost more.  As you'd use it, a lot more.  Example,
since you mentioned Youtube -

Like I said, *of course* people have been pushing their proprietary CDNs 
to do what Usenet could have been doing all along.  If I were an ISP, 
I'd rather have one generic CDN protocol on servers that I control 
rather than having hundreds of content providers trying to co-locate 
their own black box hardware inside my operation.  Usenet can benefit 
*everyone*, not just the big players like Google.

But, you're continually ignoring the fact that Usenet was not created

Again, it all comes down to who's paying for it.  In addition to some
Usenet admin experience, you'd benefit from a bit of ISP experience as
well.

_Something_ may benefit everyone.  Usenet is not it.  You're putting

| Level 3 claims six ISPs dropping packets every day over money disputes
|
| Network provider doesn't name and shame ISPs guilty of "permanent
| congestion."
|
| by Jon Brodkin - May 5 2014, 10:25am MST
|
| Network operator Level 3, which has asked the FCC to protect it from
| "arbitrary access charges" that ISPs want in exchange for accepting
| Internet traffic, today claimed that six consumer broadband providers
| have allowed a state of "permanent congestion" by refusing to upgrade
| peering connections for the past year.
|
| Level 3 and Cogent, another network operator, have been involved in
| disputes with ISPs over whether they should pay for the right to send
| them traffic. ISPs have demanded payment in exchange for accepting
| streaming video and other data that is passed from the network providers
| to ISPs and eventually to consumers.
|
| When the interconnections aren't upgraded, it can lead to congestion and
| dropped packets, as we wrote previously regarding a dispute between
| Cogent and Verizon. In a blog post today, Level 3 VP Mark Taylor wrote:
|
|   A port that is on average utilized at 90 percent will be saturated,
|   dropping packets, for several hours a day. We have congested ports
|   saturated to those levels with 12 of our 51 peers. Six of those 12
|   have a single congested port, and we are both (Level 3 and our peer)
|   in the process of making upgrades--this is business as usual and happens
|   occasionally as traffic swings around the Internet as customers change
|   providers.
|
|   That leaves the remaining six peers with congestion on almost all of
|   the interconnect ports between us. Congestion that is permanent, has
|   been in place for well over a year and where our peer refuses to augment
|   capacity. They are deliberately harming the service they deliver to
|   their paying customers. They are not allowing us to fulfill the requests
|   their customers make for content.
|
|   Five of those congested peers are in the United States and one is in
|   Europe. There are none in any other part of the world. All six are large
|   Broadband consumer networks with a dominant or exclusive market share in
|   their local market. In countries or markets where consumers have
|   multiple Broadband choices (like the UK) there are no congested peers.
|
| [...]

...or a few CDNs co-locate their own servers at your ISP?

Are these people customers of level3? Do they have worldwide backbones?
Or are they just local ISPs providing connectivity to end-users?

Mark Taylor (L3 VP of Content and Media) is calling them peers, which
means they are not customers.  Too bad he didn't name them, but I'd bet
he'd be buried in lawsuits if he did.  My guess is they are the larger
CATV and Telecom companies (Netflix copetitors) in the USA.  Don't have
a clue about the one in Europe, though.

If they are limited to the USA, either they don't need global
connectivity, in which case why are they peering with level3, or they
do, in which case they would be customers. If they are customers it's
up to them to rent a pipe of sufficient bandwidth for their needs from
level3.

So what is going on?

I don't know if they're global vendors, but if they have enough
customers that other vendors want to reach, sometimes settlement
settlement free peering can be negotiated.

"Settlement free" does not (that I know of, anyway) allow transit
traffic.  A couple examples -

http://www.comcast.com/peering
| traffic to/from the Comcast network must be on-net only

http://www.level3.com/en/legal/ip-traffic-exchange-policy/
| must announce only routes for paid traffic exchanged with its
| customers (and Level 3 and Global Crossing will announce only
| routes for paid traffic exchanged with their customers)

> So what is going on?

Usually net vendors are extremely quiet about all this.  I'm
surprised L3 disclosed as much as they did.  It was probably
from frustration.  I suspect some of L3's customers are not
happy.

Hmmm. I can imagine two smaller players doing that, but what's in it
for level3?

If you have a national or regional network, which ultimately is
providing connectivity to end users, they have to provide global
connectivity to those end users. IME, that's done by buying pipes from
the likes of Telia, Global Crossing, level3, and others. You typically
have several such pipes to more than one provider.

It's 8 years now since I stopped being involved in that game, but I
don't recall any major innovations being on the horizon that were going
to alter that general approach.

Of course, if you are a regional network providing connectivity within
that region for a community of interest, you'd be likely to have
settlement-free peering to similar communities in other regions, as
that's likely to be the majority of your traffic. But for commodity IP,
just buy it off the shelf.

Yea, that's what my upstream ISP does, along with most others.

So, I'm guessing a few, like the CATV companies with millions of end
users, have managed to peer settlement-free with some of the backbones.

It's been longer for me, but I doubt anyone has gotten less secretive
about it.  I looked a bit, but couldn't find any publicly available
info.  One thing I do recall was going from a customer to a peer was
essentially impossible.  That might have changed.  Heh.

Yea, Equinix et al. have become quite big...
