About this network
A US network running content caches, operated by the company behind the Ninja-IX exchange.
What it's used for
- Content caching. 1,024 addresses over three prefixes, one IPv6 /48, five observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle registered with ARIN is CACHE-POWERED-BY-NINJA-IX, which is marketing copy in a field meant for an identifier.
- Two of the three blocks carry the netname NINJA-CACHE; the third is NINJA-PUBLIC-3.
- The one sampled reverse name, lb-rtr1-phx-caching.nix-ops.net, spells out its own job: load balancer, router 1, Phoenix, caching.
Interesting
- An exchange operator running caches is a specific business model. Content providers put caching nodes close to eyeballs; a small exchange that can host those nodes and hand the traffic to every member network on site becomes worth joining for reasons that have nothing to do with peering. The cache is the product and the exchange is the distribution.
- Naming things is where operators reveal how they think. nix-ops.net for the infrastructure domain, NINJA-CACHE in the registry, and a hostname that reads like a diagram — this is a network built by people who expect to be reading their own reverse DNS at three in the morning.
