Re: How Consolidation is Eroding Internet Resilience

I mean, for the most part, only what, 50 ASNs make up the vast majority of Internet traffic? 5 - 10 on the content side 
and the balance as eyeballs? For sure what's outside of that is meaningful, but it falls off quickly.

Well, dont get me wrong, but this article is a bit wrong.
Internet != CDNs. While this is true that CDNs host a lot
of content these days and outage bring down a lot of sites down,
this doesnt mean the whole Internet is like that.

I, for example didnt notice a thing when CloudFlare went down.
If not sitting on some IRC channels where I heard moaning about it
I would NOT know a thing that there is outage in progress ;)
My stuff was working, stuff I cared was working..

Regards,
Borg
