[bdNOG] How does Google select their Cache Engine IP nearest to the request sender?

Sat Feb 8 13:42:08 BDT 2014

Dear Simon bhai,

Thanks for your email.

I am only interested in the networking part of these CDNs, not the content caching & serving part.

As a Networking Professional, Enthusiast and a Member of bdNOG Community, I'd be happy to see any one or two (or if possible all) of them in bdNOG1, :-). But Google/YouTube one consumes(ISP Point of view)/saves(IIG Point of view) the lion's share of bandwidth as I have seen. Let's put the proposal before the Program Committee. If I remember correctly, Roman bhai had told me that there will be someone from Google in bdNOG1.

With thanks and best regards,

There are some proprietary thing in the cache, which Google, Akamai, Limielight and all the CDN operators can tell or show us. But without that all the principles are same. I found google one is very interesting.

However for your case with us ping me outside the list. I will send you my BGP communities. Which will help you a bit.

From an end ISP's point of view, to better utilize BGP partial or full routes or even to advertise larger prefixes for fail-over function, all our upstream IIGs should have Cache nodes directly connected to their ASes. Otherwise traffic becomes unbalanced for us, as far as Google/YouTube and other cache based services are concerned. Google cache nodes should look at BGP attributes too, at least AS_PATH lengths. Is there anyone from Google in this list? ;-)

When you are querying for one of their records they somehow check if your resolver is advertised towards any of the Cache node's BGP feed. If it finds it in any of their Nodes they reply with an IP address from that block otherwise they reply from their block. They do not check any other BGP attributes just the availability of the prefix.
