4805 Embedded CDNs in 2023 - A Status

Embedded CDNs have been around for several decades. In the beginning there was Akamai and then Google. About a decade ago more showed up. In 2012, we did a panel at NANOG discussing the challenges for the ISPs who chose to embed. ISPs had to adapt to various differences for each of the solutions. The outlook was that an increased number of providers would offer an embedded solution, the variations would grow in complexity and the request or hope was alignment and standardization. So what has happened in the last decade? This talk will focus on the most common embedded solutions and their similarities, differences and evolution over the past decade.
