Hi all, I have no idea how these CDNs work, but I think I'm streaming from orcon cache?

IP is 60.234.55.90, and only 4 hops to that IP.

The thing is, it disconnects every minute.. and I had to refresh the browser.. is the server overloaded? or just me.

http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/spacex/index.html edit to add the URL for people to try.

Have been watching it live for past 10 minutes on Vodafone connection. No issues here.

Do whatever you want to do man.

I meant, IP, thinking if I used vodafone's dns might get directed there.. if it's a different cache.
Wonder how cheap it must be, if all isps can setup their own CDN..

yup works fine for me to on Orcon using the OPs link in the 1st post although I did notice a few times where it stutered because it had ceased to stream and buffering kicked back in but other than that it worked fine

It'll be coming off your ISP's Akamai CDN node if they have one - Orcon does have one in the datacenter, not sure about Telecom or Vodafone but would assume so.
