MBIX is pleased to welcome Cloudflare (AS13335) as its newest connected member. Cloudflare is a global CDN provider who has been expanding recently, including connections to YYCIX (Calgary) and YXEIX (Saskatoon), as Cloudflare posted about recently. It’s excellent to see Cloudflare connecting to IXPs in every city they expand into, using the IXP to reach users at home as efficiently as possible. MBIX member ISPs and their customers will now be able to reach Cloudflare servers at low latency and low cost.
Cloudflare is connected to the 294 Portage node of MBIX at 10 Gbps. We expect them to set up a lot of bi-lateral peering on IPv4 and IPv6.
No effect still to Shaw in Winnipeg.. same route to 1.1.1.1 as OpenDNS, Winnipeg to Calgary, to Vancouver through VANIX..
Shaw’s best route depends on where their closest connection to Cloudflare. Looks like they do that in Vancouver.
