NOTE ON netflix.com and local country websites

Our websites, for example http://www.netflix.com or http://www.netflix.com.br, are hosted on AWS in the US and EU only. Peering with Netflix provides connectivity to our CDN, not to these web presences. Viewing traceroutes to www.netflix.com or www.netflix.com.br is not indicative of connectivity to Open Connect for content delivery. If you expand the IRR record of AS-NFLX you will see prefixes of our content servers, or contact us at peering@netflix.com for assistance.

NOTE ON Brazil PTT Peering

We peer using the route servers (ATM) on each PTT IXP where we are present. If you are a new peer on PTT, you should see a small number of prefixes (< 10) from us, which represents all of our local servers. These are the same prefixes you would see on a bilateral session.

NOTE ON Netflix Content Delivery

Netflix streams our content payload via one of three methods:

A) An embedded cache inside of your network, provided you meet certain traffic criteria (generally greater than 5Gbps of traffic). We call this the "Open Connect Appliance"

B) PNI (SFI) at common private peering locations

C) Public Peering (SFI) via IXs at common public peering locations

Please contact us at peering@netflix.com to help determine the best method to efficiently serve Netflix traffic to your users. To help us expedite your inquiry, please be sure to provide your AS as well as any downstream ASes (or a IRR record that can be expanded) and the locations that you wish to receive Netflix content at. We will contact you as soon as possible.

Note that Netflix does not operate a backbone; you will receive prefixes relevant to the region that you interconnect in only.

NOTE ON MED SCHEME

Netflix generally uses geolocation information to localize content delivery, however if we receive MEDs they will be preferred and override the location data. We automatically add a med of 50 to PNI and 100 to IX in addition to the MED you send us.

NOTE ON SOUTH FLORIDA (MIAMI)

Netflix is no longer on the NOTA exchange. We highly recommend you join FL-IX (http://www.fl-ix.net) - a completely free exchange that covers the South Florida metro area
