Can someone ELI5 this to me? Netflix is providing devices that are designed to route Netflix traffic or data only through an ISP's network, reducing the strain on the entire ISP's service?
It’s storage cache they put in your isp so if you and your neighbor watch the same thing, it only goes the first hop from your house to the isp instead of all the way to Netflix, which is much cheaper for the isp. This is a fairly common thing that cdns do
