Re: [kNT] CDN's and dynamic content

["Scott Pollard, BIBC" <scott.pollard@xxxxxxxx>]

Video is typically static and can be hundreds of meg in size.  We work on 10
megabytes per minute broadband streaming rule of thumb.  Typical video
programmes of 30 to 50 minutes [i.e. 300 to 500 meg] will be commonplace in
a year's time

Dynamic web pages -- well, 30/50 k is pushing it -- a 10,000 fold
difference.

Hence edge networks, Kendra and whatever else might be thought up.

Is HTML worth caching? Most of the caches now only cache "objects"
anyway don't they?
