Iterative Traffic Engineering in Changing Internet Economics

Invited Talk
Friday, November 13, 2015 - 2:45pm-3:30pm

Tom Daly, VP, Infrastructure, Fastly

Abstract: 

The physical, logical, and economic topology of the Internet is ever changing due to new network to network interconnections, the planned or accidental disconnection of existing interconnections, and the ever growing needs for more network capacity. As a multi-Terabit traffic source, Fastly must regularly evaluate its needs for network capacity against performance and operating costs. This talk will examine the capacity planning models, scalability concerns, and economic drivers used to make key business decisions regarding connectivity, emphasizing the needs for metrics collection, analysis, and constant iterative tuning involving a distributed, international team.
