Two public edge stories (Open Connect vs Unimog) — provenance banners required; no invented PoP maps.

Netflix (Open Connect & control plane)

Netflix’s public architecture story splits AWS-hosted control/API services from Open Connect appliances that deliver video bytes — plus published resilience patterns (Hystrix, chaos/FIT/ChAP). Corporate fabric beyond Open Connect is largely unpublished.

Problem. Delivering global streaming quality without shipping every video byte through the same hosts that authorize playback, while keeping control-plane services resilient under partial failure.

Cloudflare (anycast edge & Unimog)

Cloudflare publishes a global anycast edge (AS13335) with a uniform server stack per city and an in-PoP path of ECMP → XDP/eBPF (l4drop) → Unimog L4 load balancing. Peering policy and Myriagon milestones are public; a hyperscaler-style private WAN TE paper is not.

Problem. Explaining Cloudflare’s published anycast + in-PoP data path without inventing backbone TE, exact current city counts, or non-edge core fabrics.
