In this project, I explore using my new Autonomous System Number (ASN) to start my own content delivery network. It doesn’t really host much, just my own internal services, but it should show all of the challenges of running stuff ‘at scale’ (i.e. beyond one single node and datacenter).

In the first video, I introduce my CDN and how I will direct viewers - using BGP-based-anycast, or DNS-based distribution? I also play with my first experiment, measuring the latency over dns and bgp.
